Summary of meeting
The CIG discussions included:
Assessing Yourself form
Jeff Walker came along to discuss the online ‘Assessing Yourself’ form, intended for people over the age of 18 who have the mental capacity to understand their own needs and can fill out the form if they want to know about social care. The original version of this form was extremely long. The meeting discussed how the original version could be adjusted to produce a shorter one.
