Starting out in private practice? Feeling overwhelmed by all things data protection? Stressed about the legalities of your practice? Convinced you are going to do something wrong, breach GDPR (UK data protection law) and end up in prison?

Never fear, the legal stuff is actually a pretty helpful framework to help us provide good quality, safe practice for our clients. But you didn’t become a mental health professional to spend hours reading up on data protection law or setting up GDPR compliant systems and processes. 

You want to run your practice with confidence that your policies and contracts have got your back should anything go wrong, like a complaint from a rogue client or a dispute over fees. But you don’t want to become a lawyer yourself.

That is why I pulled together the dream team, Clare Veal from Aubergine Legal, Anna Bunch from Psych Va and me, Dr Rosie Gilderthorp to create a package that takes away the stress and confusion of setting up your practice legally and getting your data protection right.

In this pack you’ll find:

Legal training from Clare Veal, commercial lawyer so you understand your obligations and how to operate in a GDPR compliant way from day one.

Perfect processes training and templates from Anna Bunch so you don’t have to do any thinking. Plug in the systems Anna and I developed together and you have a GDPR compliant practice minus the stress.

Templates for all the legal documents you need including: 

• Terms and conditions for therapy
• A contract to use when you hire a Virtual Assistant
• Terms and conditions for your website
• A comprehensive privacy policy (online and offline versions)
• A cookie policy for your website (yes, you need one and yes the training explains what it is and how to use it!)
• A data protection impact assessment (so you can make sure your processes are compliant with UK data protection laws) 
• A record of processing activities (so you have a record of the decisions you have made should ever need to justify them)
• Supervision contract so you can offer supervision to other clinicians

In summary, I created this to give you peace of mind because you really don’t need to worry about this stuff once you have the right advice from experts.
