Full Assessment - will not having anyone historic to bring be a big problem?

Hello,

I have got my letter through for my full assessment. It has been broken up into 3 stages. the second stage is described as "This appointment will involve one of our clinicians meeting or calling one of your parents or someone who has known you since you were a child."

I was not brought up by my parents. I have not kept in touch with anyone from my childhood. I have not kept any reports (or anything) from my childhood. 

I am now worried that when they realise this they will cancel my assessment or at the end of it state they cannot complete the assessment. I did state in the pre assessment that I had no-one I could bring, however it seems for the full assessment this takes a more central part of the process.

Has anyone else had this issue and would be willing to share experience or information as to how big an issue this is?

thankyou

  • Hi,I was asked to bring someone who had known me for a long time to my assessment but as I do not know anyone like that as I can not make and keep friends-I went alone and it was no problem. You should contract the assessment team and let them know but I do not see it as a major obstacle, they just want to fill out their picture of you as best as they can and although another person may have been helpful, it is not essential.

    Good LucK!
