Engaging and assessing in social care
Learning Objectives
After considering this resource, you should understand how you might engage with and assess service users and carers and their social situation.
Creating an effective working relationship with service users and their carers in social care practice is a significant aim. It should create a sense of caring and lead to assessments in which you are able to consider a range of factors affecting the lives of an individual, or a group. In this chapter from Social Care Practice in Context, Malcolm Payne discusses how engagement in social care allows service users and carers to feel a part of the process, and secure the assessments will address their needs.
