Screening/SW safety/Supporting other SWers

Recommended Posts

Would love more awareness and conversation about screening clients,

Deposits -do you ask one?

asking for ID?

Reference checks?

how can we keep each other safe?

check in?

call or text another provider 

share location 

 Safety for women in the industry and how we can support each other.

Red Dress movement 

hang more dresses on the Hwy 

similar to the N/A program I would live to start a SW/A support group.

Love these suggestions @Charlottestarr, thank you!

We did a great interview with @EmilyRushton on screening - 

 

 

Would love to cover some more of the topics you suggested. Can you slide in my DMs if you'd like to be interviewed? ❤️

deposits - I will ask for a deposit only if it is for an outcall, or if a client has booked me without showing up.

 

asking for ID - I will only ask for ID if I have a weird or uneasy feeling. but if my gut is strongly telling me not to see them for a session I will listen to my intuition. 

 

I personally ask for a call of confirmation before giving out my exact address. I like to hear who I’m going to meet, and try and get a vibe through the phone call. if that isn’t enough I will ask for a picture of their ID (of course with address scratched out.) if that is an issue for anyone inquiring about booking then I will simply turn them away. I will only do these things for my safety. 

 

I understand both sides, each meeting a stranger.
