KT'S Complementary Therapies
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Prevention & Control Policy
For KT’S Complementary Therapies
All of us have been affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. For myself, and I am sure for you too, not being able to see family and friends has been very tough. In addition to this the closing of my business affected me greatly. I am very much looking forward to reopening and seeing all my wonderful clients again, I have missed being able to offer you relaxing treatments that I know you enjoy and value. As KT’S Complementary Therapies will be reopen again soon I have created this Infection Prevention & Control Policy. Giving you reassurance that here at KT’S I am taking extra steps to protect my valued clients. I am looking forward to seeing you again as soon as possible.
My priority is to keep you as safe as possible, and prior to re-opening KT’S Relaxation Room I have implemented several changes which I would like to make you aware of. During the time KT’S has been closed for business, I have completed the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infection Prevention and Control course which is accredited by the Guild of Professional Beauty Therapists Ltd, the UK trade body for our industry. I have since made several changes in the way that I operate that you will notice when you next visit.

I appreciate that this may be inconvenient, but it is done entirely for your own safety. If your appointment is cancelled I will re-book your appointment as soon as possible.
If you or any of the people you live with feel ill or display any symptoms of C0VlD-19 please advise me as soon as possible and DO NOT COME TO KT’S FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT.

You will have full access to washing facilities to enable you to wash your hands, in addition to alcohol hand sanitiser which will be available as you enter and leave KT’S.
