‘I feel as a whole family we have benefitted from it so far because Client A doesn’t normally socialise with
anyone except on a Saturday when she chooses to hang around town with the wrong people…I hope continuing
this will show Client A how to become independent and the right path to lead becoming confident and
believing in herself.’
