Statement of Purpose

Our services
-
Our services are performed by qualified, registered and insured professionals who work within their defined scope of practice as dictated by their relevant UK governing body. The focus of the service is agreed ahead of time between LEGS and the participant.
Payment
-
Payment for sessions must be made in advance of the session. This can be in the form of a bank transfer or standing order.
Membership
-
When you have paid for a monthly membership or block of classes, you are considered a member of LEGS. This means that you have access to our WhatsApp group support, our Members' Area on the website and our weekly education and peer support session (the Neuro Café).
-
Our classes are kept small so that each member receives individualised exercise prescription and advice.
-
We set a maximum capacity for each class which means that your place is protected for as long as you are eligible for the class(es) and have paid for the place(s).
Session cancellations
-
When a participant is allocated a place in a group, the allotted place is held exclusively for this participant for the remainder of that block of sessions.
-
We therefore do not offer refunds for sessions missed due to illness or personal reasons.
-
For periods of long term illness or pre booked holiday we may, at our discretion, waive the charge. This will be considered on a case by case basis.
Data protection
-
All data will be handled in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018.
-
Medical records are stored electronically on software specially designed for health and wellbeing professionals, and accessed only by authorised personnel.
-
Following participant consent, LEGS may disclose relevant information regarding your presenting condition to appropriate health professionals, such as your GP.
-
As a participant, you have the right to access information held about you. To obtain this information, or if you have any concerns about data protection at LEGS please contact info@legs.org.uk .
-
Whilst LEGS makes every effort to ensure its internet infrastructure is secure, email can be unsafe and LEGS can take no responsibility for transmitting data electronically.
Working with participants
-
LEGS works with participants at its discretion and determines the suitability for those receiving its services and there may be circumstances where it is not appropriate for LEGS to provide its services.
-
