Code Of Practice

Through the Centre, as Trained Advisors, we are committed to providing:

Our aim at the Pregnancy Crisis Care Centre is to provide a caring relationship, within agreed boundaries, that reflects our Christian commitment, values and understanding.


Confidentiality

Our aim is to provide a confidential service. However, the counselling offered at the Centre is similar to other voluntary care organisations in that we reserve the right to notify other professionals if the client's safety, or any other person's safety is at risk. The decision to break confidentiality will be made with the client's consent whenever possible, unless the advisor has good grounds for believing that the client is unable to take responsibility for her/his action.

Each advisor also has access to supervision to ensure that they are working with integrity and according to the standards of the Centre, but client names remain anonymous. With the client's permission, we will make notes about the discussion. These are available to the client upon request.


Policy On Under 18's

You are welcome to visit if you have any queries on:

Also see Why We Are Here. We would encourage all people younger than 18 years to confide in and if possible bring a parent or other responsible adult to the appointment.

Ages 13 and under:
We cannot offer formal counselling, but we will provide factual advice and information.
