Firstly, staff will need to meet with you. After that staff will have a better understanding of what you would like them to do, and whether or not they are able to pick up the work that you require from them.
If they are not able to support you they will signpost you to a more suitable organisation.
Staff will agree with you what they are going to do, how long this may take, and how you would like to be supported. Staff will then work with you flexibly to meet your individual needs.
