Service users Gender preference for personal care: To protect the dignity of the S.U. and respect their needs and wishes, they may, or may not, prefer same sex staff to support them with personal care
Gender identification: When we use pronouns like “she” or “he” to identify a person without asking them what pronouns they use, we may be making an assumption about that person’s gender that differs from their gender identity. Some people express their gender in a non-binary way and use pronouns such as they/them or ze/hir/hirs. People who look to be one gender to you may identify as another gender.
About me and my views: What people like and admire about me, What's important to me, How best to support me.
Carer's views: If this is a comissioned service, you may already have had your views recorded but it would be beneficial for Buddies to have this directly from you here.
What support services are presently being accessed or provided: Please let us know of any services currently attended and any previous services. You may wish to add why these are not giving the full range of support and outcomes you would want or expect
