Keeping You Safe:
Ruth aims to keep you safe by:

- Valuing, listening and respecting you and your experiences.
- Being in charge of safeguarding.
- Using child and adult protection and safeguarding best practice.
- Recording, storing and using client information securely.
- Telling you where you can get help if there is a safeguarding issue.
- Sharing concerns and relevant safeguarding information with other people who need to know, and including you when it’s right to do so.
- Using Zoom for secure online session(s) – with security features like a personal Zoom meeting link (with meeting ID and passcode), you controlling your camera and microphone, and leaving a session whenever you want.
- Advising you to have session(s) in a suitable private space.
- If you are aged 16 years old or under, online sessions should be in a common, private space, or if in a bedroom your parent/guardian has given permission for this, and your parent/guardian should be close by if needed.
