Notice of completion or cancellation must be served in writing providing a period of no less than thirty days’ notice, unless it is a fixed term contract.

The company will also share either, limited or unlimited information, as directed, with any party (such as a carer, solicitor or family member) elected by the client and/or service recipient.

The Company maintains a commitment to work towards the desired outcomes of the client. However, the health and wellbeing of the service recipient shall always be the dominant priority of the Company. Should the health and wellbeing of the service recipient conflict in any way with the desired outcomes of the client or, should the desired outcomes of the client put the health and wellbeing of the service recipient at risk the Company reserves the right to act in the best interests of the service recipient or, if deemed necessary, cancel the service provision.

The Company shall, wherever possible, provide the Client and/or service recipient with notice of no less than fourteen days in advance of any periods of leave or closure.
