Doula Programs: Risk Management Strategies | Business Tutorials ...

Transportation? of clients by car is another area of risk for doula programs. to limit the risk:

• Develop a policy regarding transportation of clients. all doula programs need to consider, and discuss with their insurance provider, the implications of doulas using their own vehicles (a) to transport clients or (b) to conduct business such as birth doulas providing prenatal or postpartum home visits, or postpartum doulas running errands for the client. one strategy to limit transportation-related risk for postpartum doulas is for the doula to drive the client?s car for errands or transportation to and from doctor visits. in this instance, doulas can be required to check for proof of registration and insurance. For their part, administrators should check the doula?s driving record and require evidence of a current driver?s license with no restrictions. Finally, doulas must ensure that all passengers are properly restrained, according to the law.
• Develop a policy regarding child car safety seats. Restrict doulas from installing child safety seats in clients? cars OR certify the doulas in child car safety seat installation.
