The initial meetings module will provide baseline knowledge and skill and critical awareness and understanding
As practice is changing in response to the needs of potential clients, how we manage our initial meetings will be ever more important to get right. People are often unaware of the ways in which they can work with us and our colleagues to reach workable outcomes that are enduring and that best serve their individual and family needs. This new module focusses on how to work with potential client/s from the very beginning to get a clear sense of what they need, how they would want to manage their situation and how to design services to their needs, including building an integrated service around them, assisting them to make affordable choices using the full range of available opportunities.
