Online and in-person sessions

For online work with a child, the arrangement is a suitable shared home setting with a responsible adult available nearby, without requiring them to listen to every discussion. Confirm the child’s location and an emergency contact at the start. Use private joining details, controlled admission and appropriate privacy settings.

For in-person work, agree a suitable setting and adult availability beforehand, with attention to visibility, privacy and safe arrival and departure. Practices should be optional, comfortable and adapted to the participant; avoid unnecessary physical contact.

I use Zoom and WhatsApp for online sessions. I do not record sessions or keep written session notes, and participants must not record, take screenshots or use automated transcription or AI meeting notes. Group members will be asked to respect each other’s privacy, although another participant’s confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.

Please also read the full Safeguarding and Privacy & cookies pages.

Your acknowledgement I confirm that I have parental responsibility for the child named above. I have read and understood the online and in-person session arrangements above. I will discuss these arrangements, including the recording restrictions, with my child in a way appropriate to their age and understanding.Parent or carer’s name as acknowledgementDate
