I am committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce, and eliminating unlawful discrimination.<\/span><\/p>

I am also committed against unlawful discrimination of clients.<\/span><\/p>

The policy\u2019s purpose is to:<\/span><\/p>

Not unlawfully discriminate because of the Equality Act 2010 protected characteristics of status, age, disability, gender alignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race (including colour, nationality, and ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, gender, sex or sexual orientation.<\/span><\/p>

I oppose and avoid all forms of unlawful discrimination. This includes in terms and conditions, dealing with grievances and discipline, commencing and terminating therapy.<\/span><\/p>

Within my profession I want to create a working environment free of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination, promoting dignity and respect for all, and where individual differences and all contributions are recognised and valued.<\/span><\/p>

Everyone should understand they, as well as their employer, can be held liable for acts of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination, in the course of their employment, against fellow employees, customers, suppliers and the public<\/span><\/p>

I take seriously complaints of bullying, harassment,<\/span><\/p>

victimisation and unlawful discrimination by fellow employees, customers, suppliers, visitors, the public and any others in the course of the organisation\u2019s work activities<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Further, sexual harassment may amount to both an employment rights matter and a criminal matter, such as in sexual assault allegations. In addition, harassment under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 \u2013 which is not limited to circumstances where harassment relates to a protected characteristic \u2013 is a criminal offence<\/span><\/p>

To regularly review my practices and procedures when necessary to ensure fairness, and also update them and the policy to take account of changes in the law<\/span><\/p>

Monitoring will include assessing how the equality policy, and any sporting action plan, are working in practice, reviewing them annually, and considering and taking<\/span><\/p>

action to address any issues<\/span><\/p>

I am committed to uphold an individual\u2019s access to courses of training when providing any CPD.<\/span><\/p>

I am committed to running an ethical nonexploitative and antidiscriminatory practice.<\/span><\/p>

I aim to treat everyone with integrity, impartiality and respect.<\/span><\/p>

They must recognise and work in ways that respect the values and dignity of my clients with due regard to issues such as<\/span><\/p>

I have a responsibility to be aware of my own issues of prejudice and stereotyping and particularly to consider ways in which these may be affecting any relationship.<\/span><\/p>

I am committed to working through these issues in my own personal life so they do not effect my professional life.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

I need to be alert to any prejudices and assumptions that clients reveal in our work and to raise awareness of these so that the needs of clients may be met with sensitive recognition and appreciation of difference.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Introduction<\/span><\/p><\/div>

Zayna Ratty 01\/01\/2020 01\/01\/2021<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

Zayna Ratty and ZRTherapy will be herby referred to as ZRT throughout the document. ZRT needs to gather and use certain information about individuals.<\/span><\/p>

These can include clients, suppliers, business contacts, employees and other people the organisation has a relationship with or may need to contact.<\/span><\/p>

This policy describes how this personal data must be collected, handled and stored to meet the company\u2019s data protection standards \u2014 and to comply with the law.<\/span><\/p>

Why this policy exists<\/span><\/p>

This data protection policy ensures ZRT:<\/span><\/p>

Complies with data protection law and follow good practice Protects the rights of staff, clients and partners<\/span>
Is open about how it stores and processes individuals\u2019 data<\/span><\/p>

Protects itself from the risks of a data breach<\/span><\/p>

Data protection law<\/span><\/p>

The Data Protection Act 1998 describes how organisations \u2014 including ZRT\u2014 must collect, handle and store personal information.<\/span><\/p>

These rules apply regardless of whether data is stored electronically, on paper or on other materials.<\/span><\/p>

To comply with the law, personal information must be collected and used fairly, stored safely and not disclosed unlawfully.<\/span><\/p>

The Data Protection Act is underpinned by eight important principles. These say that personal data must:<\/span><\/p>

  1. Be processed fairly and lawfully<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  2. Be obtained only for specific, lawful purposes<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  3. Be adequate, relevant and not excessive<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  4. Be accurate and kept up to date<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  5. Not be held for any longer than necessary<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  6. Processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Context and overview<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    1. Be protected in appropriate ways<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    2. Not be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), unless that country or<\/span><\/p>

      territory also ensures an adequate level of protection<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>

      Policy scope<\/span><\/p>

      This policy applies to:<\/span><\/p>

      The primary office of ZRT<\/span>
      All temporary offices used by ZRT All staff and volunteers of ZRT<\/span><\/p>

      All contractors, suppliers and other people working on behalf of ZRT<\/span><\/p>

      It applies to all data that the company holds relating to identifiable individuals, even if that information technically falls outside of the Data Protection Act 1998. This can include:<\/span><\/p>

      Names of individuals Postal addresses Email addresses Telephone numbers Therapy notes<\/span><\/p>

      …plus any other information relating to individuals<\/span><\/p>

      Data protection risks<\/span><\/p>

      This policy helps to protect ZRT from some very real data security risks, including:<\/span><\/p>

      Breaches of confidentiality. For instance, information being given out inappropriately.<\/span>
      Failing to offer choice. For instance, all individuals should be free to choose how the company<\/span><\/p>

      uses data relating to them.<\/span>
      Reputational damage. For instance, the company could suffer if hackers successfully gained access to sensitive data.<\/span><\/p>

      Responsibilities<\/span><\/p>

      Everyone who works for or with ZRT has some responsibility for ensuring data is collected, stored and handled appropriately.<\/span><\/p>

      Each team that handles personal data must ensure that it is handled and processed in line with this policy and data protection principles.<\/span><\/p>

      However, these people have key areas of responsibility:<\/span>
      I am ultimately responsible for ensuring that [ZRT meets its legal obligations. ZRT, is responsible for:<\/span><\/p>

      o Keepingtheboardupdatedaboutdataprotectionresponsibilities,risksandissues.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      o Addressinganydataprotectionqueriesfromjournalistsormediaoutletslike newspapers.<\/span><\/p>

      o Wherenecessary,workingwithotherstafftoensuremarketinginitiativesabideby data protection principles.<\/span><\/p>

      The only people able to access data covered by this policy should be those who need it for their work.<\/span><\/p>

      Data should not be shared informally. When access to confidential information is required, employees can request it from their line managers.<\/span><\/p>

      ZRT will provide training to all employees to help them understand their responsibilities when handling data.<\/span><\/p>

      Employees should keep all data secure, by taking sensible precautions and following the guidelines below.<\/span><\/p>

      In particular, strong passwords must be used and they should never be shared.<\/span>
      Personal data should not be disclosed to unauthorised people, either within the company or<\/span><\/p>

      externally.<\/span><\/p>

      Data should be regularly reviewed and updated if it is found to be out of date. If no longer required, it should be deleted and disposed of.<\/span><\/p>

      These rules describe how and where data should be safely stored. I should be registered with the<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\"page3image35394624\"<\/span>

      General staff guidelines<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

      Data storage<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      ICO.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

      When data is stored on paper, it should be kept in a secure place where unauthorised people cannot see it.<\/span><\/p>

      These guidelines also apply to data that is usually stored electronically but has been printed out for some reason:<\/span><\/p>

      When not required, the paper or files should be kept in a locked drawer or filing cabinet.<\/span>
      I should make sure paper and printouts are not left where unauthorised people could see them,<\/span><\/p>

      like on a printer.<\/span>
      Data printouts should be shredded and disposed of securely when no longer required.<\/span><\/p>

      When data is stored electronically, it must be protected from unauthorised access, accidental deletion and malicious hacking attempts:<\/span><\/p>

      Data should be protected by strong passwords that are changed regularly and never shared.<\/span>
      If data is stored on removable media (like a CD or DVD), these should be kept locked away securely<\/span><\/p>

      when not being used.<\/span>
      Data should only be stored on designated drives and servers, and should only be uploaded to an<\/span><\/p>

      approved cloud computing services.<\/span>
      Servers containing personal data should be sited in a secure location, away from general office<\/span><\/p>

      space.<\/span><\/p>

      Data should be backed up frequently. Those backups should be tested regularly, in line with the company\u2019s standard backup procedures.<\/span><\/p>

      Data should never be saved directly to laptops or other mobile devices like tablets or smart phones.<\/span><\/p>

      All servers and computers containing data should be protected by approved security software and a firewall.<\/span><\/p>

      When personal data is accessed and used that it can be at the greatest risk of loss, corruption or theft:<\/span><\/p>

      When working with personal data, I should ensure the screens of their computers are always locked when left unattended.<\/span><\/p>

      Personal data should not be shared informally. In particular, it should never be sent by email, as this form of communication is not secure.<\/span><\/p>

      Data must be encrypted before being transferred electronically.<\/span>
      Personal data should never be transferred outside of the European Economic Area.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Data use<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Data accuracy<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

      The law requires ZRT to take reasonable steps to ensure data is kept accurate and up to date.<\/span><\/p>

      The more important it is that the personal data is accurate, the greater the effort ZRT should put into ensuring its accuracy.<\/span><\/p>

      It is my responsibility when I work with data to take reasonable steps to ensure it is kept as accurate and up to date as possible.<\/span><\/p>

      Data will be held in as few places as necessary.<\/span><\/p>

      No individual client should be identifiable to anyone other myself.<\/span><\/p>

      Client contact details and notes should be stored together.<\/span><\/p>

      Staff should take every opportunity to ensure data is updated. For instance, by confirming a customer\u2019s details when they call.<\/span><\/p>

      ZRT will make it easy for data subjects to update the information ZRT holds about them. For instance, via the company website.<\/span><\/p>

      Data should be updated as inaccuracies are discovered. For instance, if a client can no longer be reached on their stored telephone number, it should be removed.<\/span><\/p>

      AllindividualswhoarethesubjectofpersonaldataheldbyZRT areentitledto: Ask what information I hold about them and why.<\/span>
      Ask how to gain access to it.<\/span>
      Be informed how to keep it up to date.<\/span><\/p>

      Be informed how I am meeting my data protection obligations.<\/span>
      If an individual contacts me requesting this information, this is called a subject access request.<\/span><\/p>

      Subject access requests from individuals should be made by email, addressed to the zayna@zrtherapy.co.uk. The data controller can supply a standard request form, although individuals do not have to use this.<\/span><\/p>

      The data controller will always verify the identity of anyone making a subject access request before handing over any information.<\/span><\/p>

      In certain circumstances, the Data Protection Act allows personal data to be disclosed to law enforcement agencies without the consent of the data subject.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

      Subject access requests<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

      Disclosing data for other reasons<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Under these circumstances, ZRT will disclose requested data. However I will ensure the request is legitimate, seeking assistance from my supervisor and legal advice where necessary.<\/span><\/p>

      ZRT aims to ensure that individuals are aware that their data is being processed, and that they understand:<\/span><\/p>

      How the data is being used How to exercise their rights<\/span><\/p>

      To these ends, I have informed the client of my privacy statement, setting out how data is kept and in which circumstances it can be assessed.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Zayna Ratty 01\/01\/2020<\/span><\/p>

      Review on 01\/01\/2021<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

      Zayna Ratty may be able to access social media services and social networ ing websites while in a place of wor , either through cloud systems or via their own personal equipment.<\/span><\/p>

      This social media policy describes the rules governing use of social media at ZRTherapy.<\/span><\/p>

      It sets out how staf must behave when using the ZRTherapys social media accounts. It also explains the rules about using personal social media accounts at wor and describes what staf may say about the company on their personal accounts.<\/span><\/p>

      This policy should be read alongside other ey policies. ZRTherapy internet use policy is partcularly relevant to staf using social media.<\/span><\/p>

      Why this policy exists<\/span><\/p>

      Social media can bring signifcant benefts to ZRTherapy, partcularly for building relatonships with current and potental clients.However, it\u2019s important that I am aware of who uses social media within ZRTherapy and that I do so in a way that enhances the ZRTherapy prospects.<\/span><\/p>

      A misjudged status update can generate complaints or damage the ZRTherapys reputaton. There are also security and data protecton issues to consider.<\/span><\/p>

      This policy explains how I can use social media safely and efectvely.<\/span><\/p>

      Policy scope<\/span><\/p>

      This policy applies to all staf, contractors and volunteers at ZRTherapy who use social media while wor ing \u2014 no mater whether for business or personal reasons.<\/span><\/p>

      It applies no mater whether that social media use ta es place on company premises, while travelling for business or while wor ing from home.<\/span><\/p>

      Social media sites and services include (but are not limited to):<\/span><\/p>

      Popular social networ s li e Twiter and Facebook<\/span>
      Online review websites li e Reevoo and Trustpilot<\/span>
      Sharing and discussion sites li e Delicious and Reddit<\/span>
      Photographic social networ s li e Flickr and Instagram<\/span>
      Queston and answer social networ s li e Quora and Yahoo Answers<\/span><\/p>

      Professional social networ s li e LinkedIn and Sunzu<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Context and overview<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Responsibilites<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

      Everyone who operates a company social media account or who uses their personal social media accounts at wor has some responsibility for implementng this policy.<\/span><\/p>

      My ey responsibilites:<\/span><\/p>

      I am ultmately responsible for ensuring that ZRTherapy uses social media safely, appropriately and in line with the UKCP ethics and objectves. I am also responsible for proactvely monitoring for social media security threats. I am also responsible for ensuring requests for assistance and support made via social media are followed up.<\/span><\/p>

      The power of social media<\/span><\/p>

      I recognise that social media ofers a platorm for ZRT to perform mar etng, stay connected with customers and build its profle online.<\/span><\/p>

      The company therefore encourages employees to use social media to support the company\u2019s goals and objectves.<\/span><\/p>

      Basic advice<\/span><\/p>

      Regardless of which social networ s employees are using, or whether they\u2019re using business or personal accounts on company tme, following these simple rules helps avoid the most common pitalls:<\/span><\/p>

      Know the social network. Employees should spend tme becoming familiar with the social networ before contributng. It\u2019s important to read any FAQs and understand what is and is not acceptable on a networ before postng messages or updates.<\/span><\/p>

      If unsure, don\u2019t post it. Staf should err on the side of cauton when postng to social networ s. If an employee feels an update or message might cause complaints or ofence \u2014 or be otherwise unsuitable \u2014 they should not post it. Staf members can always consult the [social media manager] for advice.<\/span><\/p>

      Be thoughtul and polite. Many social media users have got into trouble simply by failing to observe basic good manners online.<\/span><\/p>

      Look out for security threats. I should be on guard for social engineering and phishing atempts. Social networ s are also used to distribute spam and malware. Further details below.<\/span><\/p>

      Keep personal use reasonable. Although I believe that being actve on social media can be valuable both to those employees and to the business, I should exercise restraint in how much personal use of social media they ma e during wor ing hours.<\/span><\/p>

      Don\u2019t make promises without checking. Some social networ s are very public, so I should not ma e any commitments or promises without chec ing that I can deliver on the promises.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

      General social media guidelines<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Handle complex queries via other channels. Social networ s are not a good place to resolve complicated enquiries and customer issues. Once a customer has made contact, I should handle further communicatons via the most appropriate channel \u2014 usually email or telephone.<\/span><\/p>

      Don\u2019t escalate things. It\u2019s easy to post a quic response to a contentous status update and then regret it. I should always ta e the tme to thin before responding, and hold bac if they are in any doubt at all.<\/span><\/p>

      This part of the social media policy covers all use of social media accounts owned and run by the company.<\/span><\/p>

      Authorised users<\/span><\/p>

      Only people who have been authorised to use the company\u2019s social networ ing accounts may do so.<\/span><\/p>

      Authorisaton is usually provided by myself. It is typically granted when social media-related tas s form a core part of an employee\u2019s job.<\/span><\/p>

      Allowing only designated people to use the accounts ensures that my social media presence is consistent and cohesive.<\/span><\/p>

      Creatng social media accounts<\/span><\/p>

      The company operates its social media presence in line with a strategy that focuses on the most- appropriate social networ s, given available resources.<\/span><\/p>

      Purpose of company social media accounts<\/span><\/p>

      ZRT\u2019s social media accounts may be used for many diferent purposes.<\/span><\/p>

      In general, I should only post updates, messages or otherwise use these accounts when that use is clearly in line with the company\u2019s overall objectves.<\/span><\/p>

      For instance, employees may use company social media accounts to:<\/span><\/p>

      Respond to client enquiries and requests for help<\/span>
      Share blog posts, artcles and other content created by myself<\/span>
      Share insightul artcles, videos, media and other content relevant to the business, but created<\/span><\/p>

      by others<\/span>
      Promote marketng campaigns and special ofers<\/span><\/p>

      Support new product launches and other initatves Social media is a powerful tool that changes quic ly.<\/span><\/p>

      Inappropriate content and uses<\/span><\/p>

      Company social media accounts must not be used to share or spread inappropriate content, or to ta e part in any actvites that could bring the company into disrepute.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Use of company social media accounts<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      When sharing an interestng blog post, artcle or piece of content, employees should always review the content thoroughly, and should not post a lin based solely on a headline.<\/span><\/p>

      I do not personally accept Faceboo ‘friend’ requests from anyone who has seen me in a therapeutc capacity. The only incidence where I may be ‘friends’ with a service user is if there were a preexistng ‘friend’.<\/span>
      This is to avoid a blurring of therapeutc\/friend lines as per my boundaries statement.<\/span><\/p>

      The value of social media<\/span><\/p>

      ZRT recognises that my personal social media accounts can generate a number of benefts. For instance:<\/span><\/p>

      I can ma e industry contacts that may be useful in their jobs<\/span><\/p>
