A whole family approach means systems that support everyone. And Family Inclusive Practice is about more than just having systems in place - it's about: - Knowledge (What's out there? / What helps?) - Skills (Good listening / Interventions) - Attitudes (Openness / Warmth / Compassion)

We often ask the poeple we provide care for about important questions about consent. We often ask simply- Yes or No? I think there's a better way of asking about the scale of consent - a way where we encourage people to include family and friends. Using our 'Layers of Consent Tool'
