Consultation

This section supplements the consultation pages in the community and secure settings templates. It draws on what has been tried and tested in health and well-being needs assessment (HWBNA) work in different places.

There is some overlap with the section about Auditing need because the information you get from that work is likely to produce information about needs as well as feedback about services.

This section includes:

• Levers to support your consultation work
• Sources of information about the views of children and families
• Tools for consulting children, parents and professionals
• Reflections from practice
