In short
- Contracted therapists, aides and other staff follow this manual, just like employees.
- The Agency stays responsible for every service it arranges, so the clinical manager supervises contracted staff too.
- Staff from an employment service need a clean database review and criminal records check before they work, or the letter the rules allow.
- Contracted staff send their visit notes to the Agency for the patient’s record.
- Report any problem with a contracted worker to the clinical manager.
