Proposal 1
Make sure there is a consistent Needs Assessment and Service Co-ordination (NASC) approach.
We propose requiring every NASC assessor to use an updated tool and introduce checks to make sure that different NASCs and different assessors are making similar allocations when assessing disabled people who have similar support needs.
Consultation question:
1. What changes can you suggest that would ensure the assessment tool and process is fair, consistent, and transparent?
You might for instance wish to suggest it is: done in a different place; in person, or not; that it be supported differently; or that you receive different information about it before or after the assessment occurs.
