07 Confirmation of Attendance Existing clients · consent assessed +
This form is for requests relating to confirmation of attendance at appointments held with Vitality Unleashed Psychology.
Confirmation of attendance may be requested by a Client for their own records, or in limited circumstances by a parent or authorised party where appropriate consent and legal authority exist. Attendance information can be provided in different formats depending on the purpose of the request.
Where a Client is requesting their own attendance history for personal use, an exported list of attended appointments may be emailed directly to the Client. This option does not involve the preparation of a letter and does not include clinical commentary.
We are required to assess whether the Client is legally and clinically able to consent to the release of their information. This includes consideration of whether a Child Client is assessed as a Mature Minor.
If a Client is deemed to be a Mature Minor, we require the Client themselves to request confirmation of attendance. We do not obtain or chase consent on behalf of parents, guardians or third parties in these circumstances, and we do not release attendance information based solely on a third-party request.
For Child Clients who are not Mature Minors, confirmation of attendance may be requested by a parent or legal guardian, provided there are no Court Orders or Parenting Orders restricting access to the Child Client’s medical or psychological information. Where such orders exist, attendance information may only be released following a request from the parent who holds legal authority, or where appropriate written consent and documentation have been provided.
