[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 319909, member: 1991"] Therevwould have to be a time limit to the clause, surely. I mean, in 20 years' time, your child's child may need a therapist and who does she see? See if you can quietly find out the terms. I would also try to quietly (and cheaply) get independent legal advice on this. One cosideration you could throw at the practice - they are losing your child's therapsit, can they replace thta therapist with someone of equal calibre that your child will accept? Because if they cannot do this, then surely that negates this agreement, at least as far as your daughter is concerned? For whatever reason, this good therapist is leaving. The practice requires that she not take any patients with her. This (to my mind) means that the practice is endeavouring to hold on to the patients, which tells me that in order to do so, they MUST meet the same needs of those patients that are being met now with the current therapist. I know therapist said to not talk to them, but I would be talking to the practice manager and making it clear, you are raising this out of your own concerns, and after being asked not to by the therapist; your concerns are to be assured that once therapist is gone, your daughter will have someone available that she will see, that she can connect with. It hasn't been an easy road and to have to make changes too often is damaging. You need an assurance from them that whoever they get to take on therapist's caseload, will be of equal competence andalso someone they can guarantee your daughter will accept readily and willingly. Can they assure you of this NOW? If they cannot, can they provide a referral for your daughter to someone perhaps closer to where you live, who is able to meet those needs? That contract can bite both ways. Marg [/QUOTE]
