Will my child's information be kept confidential? 

Your child’s data is securely recorded and protected on Fortuna, an application that was created according to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a standard upheld by all Play Therapy International registrants. This Data Protection Regulation also coincides with the Personal Data Protection Act in Thailand that was enforced in October 2021

Creative Corner also has a consent form in the event that you would like our therapists to collaborate with the school or other health professionals. You, as the parent, have full control of what is shared. 

How will I know that my child is safe? 

All signatories to this document are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children receiving a service and ensuring that appropriate and consistent action will be taken if any concerns arise.

A child is defined as a person under the age of 18, as outlined in the Thailand Child Protection Act 2003.

Our play therapists receive regular clinical supervision in order to support their work with your child and ensure they are providing effective and ethical support to your child.

It is the therapist’s responsibility to keep your child safe in the therapy session. However, once they have left the session or before they have entered the session, the therapist does not hold any responsibility if any accidents occur.

At the start of any work being carried out with a child it will be clearly explained to that child that confidentiality cannot be guaranteed where the therapist believes that there is danger to the client. Whenever there is either evidence or suspicion of child abuse the therapist concerned will discuss these concerns with the child. They will explain clearly to the child the reasons for having to pass information on to other professionals and the procedures for dealing with child abuse.

Actual Awareness of Evidence of Abuse:

Therapists may become aware of child abuse in the following ways:-

  • Direct disclosure of abuse to a therapist by the child.
  • Observation of injuries that may arouse suspicion that abuse may have occurred.
  • Evidence of the child’s emotional state that may cause concern such as the child becoming extremely distressed or withdrawn.
  • Information that may be passed on to a therapist by others who are concerned for the child.

If a therapist becomes aware that a child is under immediate threat of abuse or has actually suffered abuse, the therapist must:-

  • If possible, discuss with the child the action that the therapist must take.
  • Make an immediate record within the hour of the child’s actual words (ie verbatim).
  • Discuss the matter immediately with their supervisor, if necessary, by telephone.

 

Contact Childline Thailand and follow their procedure to ensure immediate safety of the child
