When working on this part of the assignment you should:

  • Consult with your supervisor to identify a focus person you may be able to
    work with
  • Talk to the focus person and ask their permission to work with them on your
    assignment and explain what this will involve
  • Get written consent from the focus person confirming their agreement
  • Describe the actions you took to promote this process of consultation with the supervisor and the focus person
2. Develop a background profile of the location you work in based on the following:
  • The number of service users accessing the service where you work
  • The diagnosis of these service users. For E.g. 6 have Down’s syndrome, 1 has Rett’s Syndrome, 2 have Intellectual Disability and epilepsy, and 4 are undiagnosed. You can access this information through your supervisor
  • The documented level of Intellectual Disability of each of the service users
