It is recommended that consultation contracts be submitted in writing, if necessary, to ensure clarity (see NCS Code of Ethics, point 9). Submission in the form of a written document can also provide the necessary space for legal intervention if the conditions are not met. If you are working with children, youth or vulnerable adults who need informed consent to be obtained from a parent, primary caregiver or relevant third party, be sure to add a section to the contract that allows you to collect names, signatures and data for such consent. Please read more about working with these customers through NCS`s backup policy. www.counsellingcpd.org/product/ethical-practice/. • Details of why the consultation may not be able to continue (except following an agreed closure of the meeting) – i.e. any contraindications that may lead to conflicts of interest or affect ethical boundaries. (Ref.: NCS Code of Ethics www.nationalcounsellingsociety.org/about-us/code-of-ethics/.) A consulting contract ensures that the consultation process is carried out in a good, safe and professional manner and highlights the consultant`s responsibilities to clients as well as the client`s responsibilities to the consultant. A consultation contract is also a transparent basis for informed consent.

www.nationalcounsellingsociety.org/members/information/benefits/. There are no established requirements for a consulting contract, but a good rule of thumb is to include details on the following points: As a rule, a consultant will present the key points of the consulting contract orally before the start of the sessions to ensure that his client is satisfied with the conditions of the work to be performed. This first oral presentation allows customers to ask questions and clarify the points of the contract on which they are not clear. The consultant can then present the details discussed in a written document signed by both the consultant and the client. A “consulting contract” (or “consulting contract”) is a mutual agreement between the consultant and the client in which the structure of the therapeutic working alliance is presented.
