How Do We Work?
We work with each individual to establish their priorities, strengths, and skills. This helps us to see what support they may need. We work by:
- Listening to what you want
- Being friendly, organised, and reliable
- Informing you of your rights and responsibilities
- Helping you put your decisions into practice, but not doing everything for you
