Environmental policy

At Kin Therapy, caring for children also means caring for the world they are growing up in. While healthcare services naturally require certain standards of hygiene, safety and practicality, Kin Therapy is committed to making thoughtful choices that reduce environmental impact wherever possible.

Our Commitments

Travel & Transport

  • Where practical, use public transport, walking or shared travel options for appointments, groups and training.

  • Plan journeys efficiently to reduce unnecessary travel.

  • Regularly review travel habits and monitor the environmental impact of journeys made through the business.

Sustainable Sessions & Groups

  • Encourage recycling at baby groups, courses and events where facilities are available.

  • Reduce single-use items wherever possible.

  • Use reusable cups, refreshments equipment and materials when appropriate.

  • Choose digital resources instead of printed materials where suitable.

Cleaning & Products

  • Use eco-friendly cleaning products where they meet hygiene and safety standards.

  • Choose sustainable or refillable products where practical.

  • Minimise waste while maintaining a clean and safe environment for babies and families.

Purchasing & Supplies

  • Buy thoughtfully, choosing quality items that last.

  • Reuse and repurpose equipment and materials where safe and appropriate.

  • Consider environmentally responsible suppliers where possible.

Ongoing Learning

  • Continue learning about ways a small healthcare business can reduce its footprint.

  • Review this policy regularly and make improvements over time.

A Gentle Note

Kin Therapy recognises that healthcare settings sometimes require compromises around hygiene, safety and convenience. Even so, we believe small consistent choices matter, and we are committed to doing what we reasonably can to care for both families and the environment.
