Policy: I need council on the following
Scope of Practice Agreement: This agreement outlines what services the doula will and will not provide. It ensures that clients understand that doulas do not perform clinical tasks such as vaginal exams, fetal heart monitoring, or medical diagnoses.
Confidentiality Agreement: This ensures that all personal information and experiences shared by the client during the course of the doula’s service are kept confidential.
Informed Consent: This document ensures that the client is fully informed about the nature of the doula’s services, the limits of these services, and any associated risks or benefits.
Professional Liability Insurance: While not required by law, many doulas carry professional liability insurance to protect against potential legal claims. This insurance can cover legal fees and settlements in the event of a lawsuit.
Service Contract: A detailed contract between the doula and the client that includes payment terms, cancellation policies, and expectations for both parties. This contract helps to protect the doula legally and financially.
Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice: Adherence to a professional code of ethics and standards of practice, such as those provided by organizations like DONA International or CAPPA, can offer additional legal protection by demonstrating the doula’s commitment to professional standards.
