The Client Orientation Screening Process
The client orientation screening process is broken into steps to ensure all relevant information is collected and a comfortable environment is created for the client.
1. Collection of client information
Past and current physical activity patterns, identification and clarification of needs and expectations.
⚠️Before collecting any personal client information you must be aware of your requirements under the law to store the information securely and maintain your clients right to privacy. You may be liable for very large fines if you share or store data irresponsibly. We encourage you to review General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the local law in your jurisdiction⚠️
