I think T's have a personal responsibility to their clients to ensure there is a safety plan in place when they go away. After all we do help pay for these holidays and I don't think it's too much to ask for especially with very vulnerable clients.

R never used to give me contact before, but he's adapted and just knowing that he is there and reachable takes a huge weight off. For his past two holidays I have just emailed him once with a simple "Hi" with a smiley face, and I think sometimes that little bit of contact is all it takes. During his previous four week break last year he did also give me a full session.
