The
placement officer will gather information about a prospective service
user to build up as wide and as accurate a picture as possible of how
best he or she can be supported.
Information from the person referred will be sought during the assessment
meeting or meetings. The initial assessment meeting will normally be held where
the prospective service user is based. The meeting may be held either on a
one-to-one basis or with an appropriate third party, such as a social worker
or a family member.
