P2:
In p2 I am going to be identifying the processes and the assessment tools in which could be involved when planning support.
The Cycle of Assessment (The Processes):
The process is for example; a support plan for an elderly or a teenager to have for when they feel it is important to them and for what they would like to change in their life. During this kind of assessment process, a social worker for example, will discuss with the individual what is working and also what is not working and this is to ensure that they are having a good quality of life and this will make it easier to identify what kind of support or maybe even resources they may need to make their life easier. The support plan does not have to be complicated as it can as detailed or as simple as they would like it to be but this is as long as both the carer and the individual discuss, understand and also agree the desired outcomes of the assessment.
When someone produces a support plan, it is very important that they consider how to meet all of the individuals needs and this is also whilst considering the role of the informal carer. When the first assessment is to take place, the extent of all the individuals support needs might not be apparent straight away and this would make it very difficult to identify all of the relevant support services that could be useful and in which are needed. Therefore it is very important that the dates are set for reviewing the plan with the person who is requiring the care, the informal carer and any of the relevant professionals and this again is to see if all of needs are being catered for properly. This process is often referred to as the support planning cycle.
