4Elements Association Code of Responsibility

All therapists listed by us agree to this "plain English" Code of Responsibility 

Respect for client safety, comfort and welfare is my paramount responsibility. This means that it is my sole responsibility to:

• Obtain explicit consent from my clients (or their legal guardian) for each treatment and not to mislead them for personal gain
• Keep all client records confidential and in a secure location
• Ensure adequate hygiene, quality of materials and safety of equipment used
• Only offer treatments for which I am properly qualified and insured
• Respect the professional boundaries that exist between therapist and client
• Ask questions that will discover any contraindications to treatment
• Locate, advertise, dress and behave to a professional standard
• Have professional indemnity and public liability insurance and be properly insured for all services offered and products sold
• Treat all other health professionals with the utmost respect
• Keep myself informed and up to date of developments in the world of Massage and continue to develop my Massage expertise

If you are concerned that a 4Elements Association member is not meeting these responsibilities, please contact us. All issues raised will be treated with the utmost discretion and investigated appropriately.
