Treat us like individuals

We are all different!
Remember this when you are working with us.

Understand my background and my life before you meet with me.

The people that have made the biggest difference to our lives are those that take the time to get to know us and change the way they work.

When we meet, it is sometimes good to do the things that I like doing. It helps us to build our relationship and learn to trust you.

This could mean we go to the park, for a hot chocolate or for a walk instead of just sitting down and talking.

We know that sometimes things can be hard to talk about, but please keep trying.

It’s good when we work out together the best way of talking to each other.

When we meet, it is sometimes good to do the things that I like doing. It helps us to build our relationship and learn to trust you.

It could also mean that you help me to join a club to do things like football, dancing, arts or anything I’m interested in.

When you get to know me you will find out the things that keep me interested and help me to talk.
