Visitor Policy and Leaving Shardale Therapeutic Community
When an individual has been within the community for three weeks, it is usual for visits to take place on site. After a three month period and further assessment, service users are usually able to leave site during visiting time.
As a service provider we have a duty of care to all of our service users, consequently, there is a restriction to the number of visits a service user may have; we restrict this to one per agreed visiting day. Visits can be retracted at any point if deemed necessary by the Shardale team. Weekly visits can be applied for but and will only be granted when the service user is in a suitable frame of mind.
Visits take place on a Saturday afternoon from 1pm until 6pm. It is expected that all service users who leave the site are back by the agreed time. Visits outside the allocated Saturday slot may sometimes take place with the agreement of the Shardale team. Any visitors found to be under the influence of alcohol or any other substance will be asked to leave, and their access to the site in future may be denied.
When a service user has completed the relevant modules of the programme they may then apply for weekend leave. Service users are expected to leave Shardale on Friday at 5pm and return on Sunday by 6pm. Full weekend leave can be granted no more than twice a month, and no sooner than 3 months post arrival.
Breathalysing and drug testing, if appropriate, will take place as individuals return from any form of visit or leave. This will be agreed in advance as an objective, precautionary measure.
When decisions are being made around the suitability of visits and leave, therapeutic considerations will always be discussed between the Shardale team. Visits and leave are seen as an essential part of the treatment model, and family therapy will take place as standard throughout the individuals stay at Shardale.
All service users’ personal circumstances will be continually reviewed and monitored by the Shardale team, when visits/leave is being considered.
