Help with your assessment

You can have a friend or family member help and represent you. If you do not have a family member or friend who you can ask, we can find an independent advocate to help you.

If you decide to request a full assessment from us, a support coordinator will check whether you:

  • understand why all this information about you is being discussed and recorded
  • agree to this (give consent)
  • agree for information about you to be shared with other people who may need to know in order to provide care and support

More details about consent are available in the social care record guarantee.

If someone cannot understand or give consent, the people who know them well will make the decision. They will do this based on what they believe is in the person's best interests.
