Standards & Assurance

What your procurement team will ask for

All of it is here, and we'll send the certificates without being chased.

  1. Registration

    Our practitioner is an Accredited Registered Member of the NCPS, whose register is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Department of Health and Social Care's oversight framework.

  2. Insurance

    Professional indemnity, clinical negligence and public liability cover. Certificate supplied on request.

  3. Clinical supervision

    Monthly supervision with a named supervisor, as required by our register. Arrangement documented and available for inspection.

  4. Data protection

    Registered with the ICO. Data Protection Impact Assessment completed, and a Data Processing Agreement signed before any measurement begins. Survey responses are collected anonymously and never linked to an individual.

  5. Confidentiality

    Nothing an employee says in a session reaches their employer. Leadership is never told who attended. Reporting is aggregate only, with a minimum group size of five.

  6. Risk and escalation

    A written protocol for identifying and escalating risk, a safeguarding policy for adults at risk, and a documented referral pathway into NHS and higher-intensity care.

Lewin Paro is not a crisis service and does not provide emergency cover. We do not offer twenty-four-hour contact, and we say so in writing to every employee we work with.

In an emergency, contact 999. For urgent mental health support, NHS 111 (select the mental health option). Samaritans are available free on 116 123, at any hour.
