COVID 19 SAFE OPERATING PROTOCOLSUPDATED AUGUST 1,2020​

As per the guidelines provided by the Public Health Authority, the BC College of Social Workers and WorkSafe BC, here is the plan for Ambitus Consulting to continue to provide services:

Where possible, we will continue with the vast majority of appointments to be held virtually. However, we have slowly started to introduce in person appointments, limiting them to 1 in-person appointment a week. These will increase as time progresses. 

We will strive to hold  in-person meetings in an outside setting. If this is not possible due to rain, or other environmental factors outside of our control, meetings will be held inside and masks will be required.

Joint or group meetings will only be held in-person if appropriate safety measures can be taken. These will include:

  • Meeting outdoors; or
  • Meeting indoors, including only members of the same “bubble”; or
  • Being able to maintain 2 metres/6 feet between all attendees; or
  • Being able to maintain at least 2 metres/6 feet between the client group and facilitator

Additional requirements:

  • Clients attending in-person are asked to wait in their vehicle or in an outdoor area away from other people until immediately before their meeting.
  • When we are holding more than one in-person sessions a week, appointment times will be staggered to allow for cleaning and social distancing.
  • Hand sanitizer will be provided at entrance door.
  • Late cancellation fees will be waived for anyone experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, personally or in their household.
  • Clients attending in-person meetings will be asked COVID screening questions.
  • Please wash your hands before attending in-person and avoid touching your face during meetings when possible.
  • Cover your mouth and nose when sneezing.
  • Please make payment by e-transfer, credit card over the phone or cheque by mail.
