Professional indemnity insurance – provided by placement.

Risk assessment – EASE assesses and manages risks to self and others utilising a tool called Grist, a well established standard for this prodedure in both primary and secondary care.

Complaints procedures – Complaints are initially handled by the CEO and may be escalated to the governing body of the clinician. All clinicians are regulated and insured.

Disciplinary & grievance procedures – Disciplinary matters are initially considered internally and if unresolved proceed to a more formal arena in which external professionals are employed to adjudicate. Furthermore, clients are always afforded the opportunity to approach the management of EASE and seek further advice from regulatory bodies.

Record-keeping & confidentiality – All records regarding patient identifiable information are maintained on a secure server that requires two-step authentification to access. Confidentiality is maintained other than if risks are identified in which case information is shared according to Information Governance procedures. Furthermore, confidential information is only discussed in personal supervision which also conforms to standard issues of confidentiality.
