• What could the impact on the family be?
Scenario 4
Parent receives a copy of a follow-up letter from the clinician that has been sent to the child’s school, GP and Social Care, which contains some inaccurate facts.
Scenario 5
The parents of the children are separated, both have parental responsibility. The mother brings the children to appointments.
