The Role of Aftercare Clients/Consumers in Service Provision
Aftercare engages clients/consumers in both formal and informal processes at each level of service provision to ensure that their views are central to planning, monitoring and evaluating of its services.
Each person within Aftercare participates with staff and other interested persons to create an individual plan of support and learning to assist them in strengthening their place in the community of their choice.
