Consent and Confidentiality
Consent
You (and your child, depending on their age and understanding) will be asked to sign an agreement and consent form and will be asked for consent throughout your child’s treatment. It is very important that you understand your child’s physiotherapy management. If you have any questions at any time, please ask.
Confidentiality
Consent is required for your physiotherapist to discuss your child’s clinical details with professionals involved in their care. It is good practice to discuss a child’s clinical details with other professionals in order that services are coordinated to provide the most effective care. All information about you and your child will be treated in a strictly professional, confidential manner.
