CONFIDENTIALITY

​

Confidentiality is an essential part of all our retreat offerings. It underpins the client’s sense of safety and trust and contributes to making the relationship different from any other. Souliology holds all records securely and will ensure confidentiality in the treatment of any information held about its clients. All information recorded and held is solely for the purpose of maintaining effective records.

​

All information will be kept confidential unless the retreat participants and organisers agree to discuss something with a third party. Where appropriate a consent form will be used. The only reason for breaking confidentiality would be if the organiser or retreat leader considered that your life was at risk, if another person’s life was at risk or if the organiser or retreat leader was liable to civil or criminal court proceedings if the information was not disclosed. If at all possible this would be discussed beforehand.

​

​

ANTI-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

​

Souliology is strongly committed to anti-discrimination. It values difference and diversity and does not discriminate on the grounds of age, gender and gender identity, sexual preference or orientation, marital/partnership status, religion, race, colour, national origin, disability, heritage or political belief.

​

​

CANCELLATION POLICY

​

If for any reason you are unable to attend retreat please let us know as soon as possible. There is no refund of your non-refundable deposit, however, any further fees paid are refundable up to 3 months before the commencement of the retreat. The required notice for cancellation is 90 days prior to the retreat commencement date. Where there is less notice of cancellation or if you do not attend the retreat you will be charged the full fee. 

​

You will be given as much advance notice as possible in terms of our need to cancel the retreat for any other reason.

 

​

REFERRALS TO ASSOCIATE PRACTITIONERS

​

All associate therapists/practitioners are independent and self-employed as practitioners who are regulated by their respective member organisations.  Associate therapists/practitioners will have their own individual terms and conditions.  For any referral that is made it is important to check on these contractual arrangements and to appraise yourself fully of all agreements and expectations between yourself and the associate therapist/practitioner.  All associate practitioners operate independently of Souliology, and Souliology is not responsible for any issues that arise subsequent to an agreed referral.  Any concerns should be raised directly with the associate therapist or with their member organisation.

 

It is strongly advised that if you are concerned about any aspect of your physical or psychological well being that you consult with your GP for an up to date evaluation of your health needs.

​

​

CONFIDENTIALITY AND RECORD KEEPING

​

Confidentiality is an essential part of everything we do here at Souliology. Souliology holds all records and personal contact details securely and will ensure confidentiality in the treatment of any information held about its retreat participants.  All information recorded and held is solely for the purpose of maintaining effective communication.

​

​

WHAT DATA DO I HOLD AND WHY?

​

I hold the contact data from your registration form, on paper, so that I can contact you.

​

​

HOW IS IT STORED?

​

Data held electronically is on a personal computer and stored locally in a password-protected account.  Phone contact details are held on a password protected work phone.

​

The payments for the retreat you make electronically.  Your records are held for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which they were collected.

​

Clients have the ‘right to be forgotten’  however, and within a month of receiving a written request, all their records will be erased.

​

​

WHO IT'S SHARED WITH?

​

All information will be kept confidential. The only reasons for breaking confidentiality would be if the retreat leader or organisers considered that your life was at risk, if another person’s life was at risk or if the retreat leader or organiser was liable to civil or criminal court proceedings if the information was not disclosed. If at all possible this would be discussed beforehand.

​

In the event of my being unable to contact you (eg through sudden incapacity), a trusted person has access to our client list and will contact you directly.  This is also a professional requirement. If I experience any data breaches, I will inform you as soon as possible.
