Assessments will generally be multi-disciplinary in nature and views of NHS colleagues in the CMHT taken into account for social work assessments.  We also have a third sector partner of a commissioned service from SAMH that contribute to collaborative assessments.

3. There has in recent times been a trial of the three conversation model across adult social care in Moray.  Current paperwork includes a tier 2 assessment and thereafter a full support planning and review process taking into account SDS
