We started the assessment process just before the summer of last year we
thought about doing it with over the years and so we said it was kind of like
now or never, when we did look at it last year it
looked like a lot of words now this is a lot more self-explanatory the
most important thing is to make it as easy as possible and easy to us access
because some people would just be dismissive because they you know they're
a bit apprehensive of learning about new things, I'm not saying you, no, the fact
that you can do it on a mobile now and on there and on hard copy as well if you
wanted to the more the merrier isn't, so there's nothing prohibiting anybody from
doing it is there. When we went to look at the form as it was being developed
online I was conscious of making the questions quite simplistic to make it
accessible to you know to everybody I'm giving clear instructions and it
does look like it's it's come on that way but yeah we did feel valued
definitely we definitely thought that our opinion was useful as well
you know I think some of the things you pointed out they didn't they've not
really thought of. I enjoyed it, I didn't think I would really, wasn't particularly looking forward to it
no reason really but I enjoyed it when we got there. I think sometimes if you get
some information upon the internet and it's a load of words and it doesn't go
in but this is like directs you to go oh well we can see about his story, we can
get the information about fostering siblings there. It makes you want to
carry on going through it doesn't it. It needs to catch your eye, grab your
attention doesn't it, yeah, and I think it looks so much better looks it looks more
attractive I think it's made a more positive experience and you can make
like a more informed choice then a more informed decision which is fantastic I think
