Standards for working with children and young people

1. The child's well-being as a paramount value

All activities undertaken in the office are aimed at ensuring the child's safety, support and opportunities for development.

The therapist undertakes to respect the individual needs, pace of development and boundaries of the child.

2. Professionalism and competence

Therapies are conducted only by specialists with appropriate qualifications and experience in working with children and adolescents.

Therapists ensure continuous professional development by participating in training, supervision and conferences.

3. Cooperation with parents/guardians

Therapists maintain constant contact with the child's caregivers, providing information about the course of therapy while maintaining confidentiality.

Parents are treated as partners in the therapeutic process, with respect for their perspective and needs.

4. Confidentiality and data protection

Information regarding the child and his or her family is confidential and is not disclosed to third parties without the consent of legal guardians (except in situations where health or life is at risk).

The office complies with applicable legal provisions regarding the protection of personal data (GDPR).

5. Physical and emotional safety

The office provides a safe environment adapted to the age and needs of children.

Every form of therapy takes place in an atmosphere of respect, acceptance and empathy.

6. Individual approach

Each child is treated individually, taking into account their history, needs, abilities and difficulties.

Treatment plans are adapted to the child's changing needs and regularly evaluated.

7. Professional ethics

Therapists are guided by the principles of professional ethics, including the obligation to maintain professional confidentiality, avoid conflicts of interest and respect for the patient.

Therapeutic activities are free from violence, manipulation and judgment.

8. Collaboration with other specialists

If necessary, therapists collaborate with other professionals (e.g., doctors, teachers, school psychologists) with the consent of caregivers.

The aim of the cooperation is to provide comprehensive support to the child.

9. Consent to therapy

Before starting therapy, the child's parents/legal guardians provide written consent to the therapy.

Depending on age and developmental level, the child is informed about the goal of therapy and involved in the decision-making process.
