The Essential Policies Pack for Independent SLTs
Setting up your own Speech and Language Therapy practice is exciting — but the governance side of things can feel anything but straightforward.
Which policies do you need? What should they include? What needs personalising? And where do you even start?
The Essential Policies Pack has been created to help take some of that overwhelm away.
Instead of spending hours staring at a blank document or trying to work out which policies are actually relevant to an independent SLT, you’ll have a practical set of editable starting-point templates covering key areas of practice governance.
What’s inside?
5 essential policies
✓ Data Protection, Confidentiality & Records Policy
A practical framework covering how personal and confidential information is collected, used, stored, shared, retained and disposed of.
✓ Safeguarding & Professional Boundaries Policy
A starting point for setting out your approach to safeguarding, responding to concerns and maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.
✓ Lone Working, Home Visits & Personal Safety Policy
Designed to help you think through the practicalities and risks of working independently, in homes, schools, nurseries and community settings.
✓ Consent & Information Sharing Policy
A framework for documenting your approach to consent, information sharing, confidentiality and the use of photos, video and audio.
✓ Complaints, Cancellations & Service Standards Policy
Set out clear expectations around complaints, cancellations, missed appointments, service standards and ending services.
Plus practical supporting templates
✓ Risk Assessment Template
A straightforward framework for identifying hazards, considering who may be affected and recording appropriate actions and controls.
✓ Data Retention Schedule
An editable framework to help you document and review your approach to retaining different categories of information.
✓ Policy Personalisation Checklist
A useful final check to help you make sure your policies reflect your actual practice before you adopt or publish them.
So why not…..
Save time.
Stop starting every policy from a blank page. You have a structured starting point that you can adapt to your own practice.
Feel more organised.
Bring your key governance documents together in one place rather than piecing everything together as you go.
Make it your own.
The templates are designed to be personalised, with prompts and placeholders to help you add your practice details, systems, contacts and processes.
Think beyond the paperwork.
The pack encourages you to make sure your policies match what you actually do — from your client communication and consent processes to your safeguarding arrangements and data storage.
This pack is ideal for UK independent Speech and Language Therapists who are:
Setting up a new private practice
Developing an existing independent practice
Reviewing their current policies and procedures
Looking for a practical starting point rather than a huge folder of documents
Wanting to bring a little more structure and organisation to their practice governance
Less time worrying about where to start. More time focusing on your practice.
The Essential Policies Pack gives you a practical foundation to work from, so you can spend less time creating documents from scratch and more time building the independent practice you want.
Editable. Practical. Designed with independent SLTs in mind.
