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

NAS ANON

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

  • Thankyou everyone for the responses. I sent the consent form back and wrote on it explaining again that I dont have anyone from my childhood.

    I will write down a summary of things i remember from my childhood and take it to them. I have also contacted my school but it has been 25 years and they do not have any of my old reports sadly but I hope they will at least understand that I tried. 

    Thankyou again :-)
