The platform is designed to minimise administration costs and maximise the money available to the therapist and hence support for the CYP.
The platform is funded by a small payment transaction fee of 6% levied against therapist charges for courses arranged through the platform. These are included within the agreed course fee and so what is agreed by the course commissioner, parent or young adult is what is paid.
Note: For the option where a credit card is used for payments, the credit card provider charge is added at cost when the course is funded.
