OUTCOME 1 1.1 - As a Care Coordinator I have a responsibility to my clients, to accommodate, and provide support for all clients, and their individual communication needs.

In assessing communication needs, I need to consider each individual, and cater for the individual’s needs. I need to consider ‘groups’ of individuals, for instance males/females, foreign speaking users, deaf/Blind users etc. The actions and aids I supply for communication needs should benefit not just the individual, but the group of service users as a whole, and encourage interaction, inclusion, and social contacts.
