Recommending Action and Referral. a. Spiritual Companions and Caregivers who have a professional qualification in a coaching, counselling or therapeutic approach will exercise care and self-reflection before recommending themselves as a referral for that approach or before integrating that approach into their sessions; and will never self-refer for financial gain. b. If during a companioning conversation, implicit or explicit, a Spiritual Companion or Caregiver recommends that the person seek help from another, more appropriate professional (e.g. GP, therapist, social care worker, police, Citizens Advice Bureau,) the Companion/Caregiver must inform either the SC network administrator by email or phone of this referral. This is so that we have a note of your referral on file and will be able to formally support you should there be an incident or complaint at any point in the future.
