Fees and Conditions
My fees vary depending on what is required and the time taken
Parents
When you first email me, I will either email you in return to answer questions or arrange a time to discuss what you might need (this is free of charge for approximately 15 minutes).
If we decide that my involvement would be helpful then I email you with:
A parent request form to sign and complete giving further details
Anticipated fees (based on the parent request form information) and terms and conditions
Once the terms and conditions agreement is signed and returned we can plan in a date for me to visit
Individual casework (per 1 day’s involvement, 7.25 hours) is a set fee of £750. This includes half a day to gather information, including; observations/one-to-one assessments, a joint initial meeting & half a day scoring, analysing results and report writing with recommendations for next steps/interventions. The cost of consumables e.g., assessment booklets, usually around £30 worth, are included in fees.
If more in-depth involvement and time is needed beyond one day, I charge £95 an hour (e.g., if further assessments are requested, for extra telephone calls/responding to emails, reading additional background information or attending extra meetings).
Beyond central Bristol, travel time is charged @£40.00 per hour & mileage @45p per mile.
Invoices are sent on the day of the visit (when all or the majority of information has been gathered).
Payment is due within 3 calendar days of the invoice date. Late payment will delay the report being completed and sent to you.
Individual reports should be with you within 21 calendar days of the visit date (unless full payment is outstanding, the report cannot be completed as I am waiting on key information e.g., questionnaires to be completed and returned or if circumstances result in a delay in which case I will email or call you to explain).
Cancellations of a confirmed visit date without reasonable notice (2 working days at least) may be charged for, to cover preparation time and loss of earnings, if it is not possible for me to use the date for other work.
Fees vary for other types of involvement: This could include, for example, therapeutic involvement with a child over a few sessions, one-off telephone consultations or support in the home.

Education professionals
When you first email me, I will either email you in return to answer questions or arrange a time to discuss what you might need (this is free of charge for approximately 15 minutes).
If you decide to commission my services I will send you follow up paperwork that may include:
Terms and conditions to sign and return that includes fees
A settings request form (for individual casework with a child or young person) to complete and return prior to dates being arranged and confirmed. NB I am unable to meet with a child/young person unless parent/carers have signed to give their consent.
A basic project plan of our discussions (for work other than individual casework) to use as a working document between us e.g., in order to plan bespoke training or projects.
A client agreement detailing arrangements e.g., start and end dates, hours, fees, responsibilities and the scope of the work etc.
Discounted fees may be provided when individual settings (e.g., a Post 16 college) or a group of settings (e.g., via a school trust/partnership) request involvement with a few students at a time, training is requested for a cluster of schools or perhaps involvement is wanted over an agreed timescale (e.g., a term, academic or financial year).
Fees for individual casework depend on what is required and the time needed. Please provide pertinent information on the setting request form to enable fees to be calculated.
Fees for other services will be discussed at the outset.
Invoices for individual casework are sent on the day of the visit (when all or the majority of information has been gathered).
Invoices for other types of work can be sent either at the start, part way through involvement or on completion.
Payment for individual casework is due within 21 calendar days of the invoice date. Late payment will delay the report being completed and sent to you.
Individual casework reports will be sent to you within 21 calendar days or a calendar week of me receiving full payment if this is late. If reports are delayed I will email or call you to explain.
Cancellations of a confirmed visit date without reasonable notice (2 working days) may be charged for, to cover preparation time and loss of earnings, if it is not possible for me to use that date for other work.
