Focusing on your needs and the needs of your family When assessments are made, they should focus on what’s best for you and consider your feelings and experience. Decisions will consider your age, how you’ve developed, and any tough or traumatic experiences you’ve had. Assessments will also consider your experience with your family, and other connections including friends and people in any other places where you stay and spend time. Practitioners will meet with you and your family to learn about what support is needed. If a you have a disability, practitioners should make sure they have the right support including an advocate, to help you share your thoughts and feelings.
