Please read the following statements and the full cancellation agreements very carefully. Then tick the boxes to show your consent to the following:

I agree for my child to be assessed for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by the Psychology Team at The Children’s Wellness Centre

I understand that a mental health assessment will be completed as part of my child’s ADHD assessment

I consent and understand that The Children's Wellness Centre will liaise with my child's school regarding this assessment

I understand that a private assessment does not guarantee a diagnosis, neither does a referral from CAMHS or a GP

I understand I can withdraw my consent at any time, although withdrawal of consent will not necessarily be reflected in the fees due

I understand that a school observation of my child will be carried out, but to ensure the validity of the results neither myself or my child will be informed of the exact date of this observation. In cases where a child does not regularly attend a school, making an observation not possible, a QbCheck computer test will be used instead

I understand that between booking and the date of the assessment, if my child is absent from school I must email The Children's Wellness Centre (via the email address hello@childrenswellnesscentre.co.uk) on the morning of the absence, prior to the school day starting, in case the school observation is planned for that day

I am aware that if I do not let The Children's Wellness Centre know of my child’s absence and the Clinician visits the school on that date, there will be an additional fee charged of £250

I understand that the Psychologist is unable to edit the results of the assessment or change observations included in the written report

I understand that even with all the information obtained, including the school observation, additional data may be needed to ensure the validity of the final result. In this case, for the benefit of the assessment, my child may be asked to take part in a short computer task, called a QbCheck. If this is needed, there will be an additional fee of £85.00 billed after the assessment. To avoid unnecessary fees, the QbCheck is not added to every assessment, as often it is not needed

I am aware that for 2-parent families, it is best practice for both parents to attend the appointments. For parents who are separated, it is the responsibility of the parent booking the assessment to ensure all who hold parental responsibility are aware of this assessment

I agree to the use of electronic communication. All documents will be password protected and saved as a PDF

I understand that all paperwork and notes are owned and securely stored by the individual clinicians carrying out each appointment, in accordance with GDPR. Consultation reports and letters are not stored internally by The Children's Wellness Centre

If appropriate I agree for any relevant information about my child to be shared between relevant professionals (e.g. school, doctor, psychologist, NHS therapist etc) in confidence, in the best interest of the child's development (this will be discussed with parents first)

I confirm that I have read The Children's Wellness Centre Policies (Privacy, Information Sharing, Confidentiality, Zero Tolerance, Complaints and Illness Policies) accessed via the footer of the website. I am aware that what we speak about is private, however I understand that there may be times where confidentiality needs to be broken, such as if myself or my child says anything that the team are concerned about in relation to their or someone else’s safety

If you have any questions about the sections on consent or confidentiality, please contact The Children's Wellness Centre.

Terms and Conditions of Therapeutic and Psychological Services within The Children’s Wellness Centre. By ticking the following checkbox, the client is accepting the terms and conditions below:

Our Psychologists will adopt a client-led approach and will offer advice, support and options for next steps, but it is the client’s responsibility to decide what is right for their child

The Psychologist that you are seeing is DBS checked and holds Professional Indemnity insurance, practicing within the framework of their profession and registrations

The Psychologist reserves the right not to accept a referral, terminate an assessment or not to circulate an assessment report if the referral appears to be outside their area of expertise or the client fails to comply with the terms and conditions set out in this agreement

Payment for assessments is required at the time of booking, in order to secure the space. We can accept a 50% deposit at the time of booking, with the remaining balance payable 7 days before the assessment date

Payment is usually made via BACS and clients will receive an email invoice once they have booked. Your assessment is confirmed on receipt of payment. If you would like to pay by credit card, please contact the office

Due to high demand for appointments, we have a 10 day cancellation or date amendment policy for assessments, although if some notice is given we will strive to always offer another slot. Late cancellations and missed 'no show' appointments, will still need to be charged in full

Once payment is received for the assessment, there will be a 3-day grace period in which the client can cancel the assessment at no charge (as long as it is within 10 days of the assessment date). We will begin the process of liaising with the school after this. If the School Observation has been carried out, and the client decides to cancel after the 3-day grace period and before 10 days prior to the assessment, the client will receive a full refund for the assessment, minus £250 for the time taken to carry out the School Observation. An additional £150 will be deducted from the refund for the administration and screening costs.

For any clients claiming through their health insurance, payment must be settled directly with The Children’s Wellness Centre by the client and can be reclaimed via their insurance provider, using the receipt we can provide

Our complaints policy can be accessed at the footer of our website. If the client has a complaint against the Psychologist that they are seeing, they must inform The Children’s Wellness Centre, emailing jake@childrenswellnesscentre.co.uk immediately and all efforts will be made to resolve and settle any disputes, without litigation

I can confirm I have read The Children’s Wellness Centre full terms and conditions found at https://childrenswellnesscentre.co.uk/terms-conditions/
