What does it do?Social Workers and other professionals normally take the lead in doing an assessment, it should always be done with you and in a way which helps you have a say. Anything you tell us will be held in confidence within Social Services. If we need to tell someone else what we have found out we will ask you if you agree. You and the worker sit down together to discuss and agree several things: - What is happening at the moment
- What has changed recently to make you feel you need help
- What you want for yourself in the long term
- If and how we can help you improve the present situation
- Who else needs to be involved in these discussions
- What options are there for services which will help meet your needs
- What are the costs of services
- What should happen immediately and what might take a longer time to sort out.
