Being part of an assessment, care plan, or court process can feel overwhelming—especially when no one explains what’s really happening. The Young Person’s Assessment Companion was created to change that.
This unique guide helps children and young people aged 4 to 17 understand what assessments are, why they happen, and what choices and rights they have along the way. It uses clear language, relatable examples, and practical tools to make the process feel less confusing and more empowering.
Inside you’ll find:
Age-appropriate sections for Early Years, Middle Years, and Older Young People
Straightforward answers to questions children often ask: “Why is this happening?” “Who makes the decisions?” “What about me?”
Real-life case studies to show how others have navigated these situations
A practical toolkit with reflection pages, creative activities, and planning tools to help young people express their feelings, prepare for meetings, and share their voice.
Whether a child is 6 and facing their first social work visit or 16 and preparing for independence, this book offers clarity, reassurance, and support at every stage.
Because every child deserves to be heard—not just managed.
