Wellbeing Conversation
The Wellbeing Conversation ensures your needs are considered in relation to:
- Physical and mental health
- Employment, training, and education
- Leisure and maintaining relationships
- Social and family life
- Living accommodation suitability
- Protection from abuse and neglect
- Control over your day-to-day life.
The Wellbeing Conversation will guide the discussion between you and the practitioner, identifying areas where support is needed. Outcomes may include:
- Signposting: directing you to local providers for additional support.
- Referrals: for example, if your child's disability impacts your other children, a referral to young carers may be made.
- Tailored support: providing resources or access to services, equipment, or activities that can help you in your caregiving role. In exceptional circumstances, if assessed needs cannot be met by existing services, direct funding may be considered, subject to approval by the panel or the Peer Review Group.
At the end of the conversation, a plan will be agreed upon detailing the support discussed and steps to implement it. You will receive a copy of this plan.
