Minimising Complaints by Adopting Appropriate Business and Professional Practices – James Rye
Our professional bodies may have been good at training us to become therapeutic individuals, but they have generally failed to train us on how to run therapeutic businesses. The results of this are often unhappy clients and consequent complaints (as well as loss of income). The emphasis throughout the session will be on exploring how managing practical issues more effectively might reduce client dissatisfaction. The session will consider questions such as: 1) Do we need to be more flexible in our assessment? If so, how could we do that? 2) Do we need to contract? If so, what could we put in our contracts? 3) How might we avoid problems when working with clients who are not physically present? 4) What are our GDPR responsibilities and how could we best fulfil them? 5) How can we be clearer about payment? What are the best ways to avoid non-payment? 6) Do we need a professional will? If yes, what could it contain? And what are the client benefits?
