DST assessment

[paper7]

Robert has had to move care after a few days due to aggression (he pushed over a resident) he is now in a care home with nursing. Just been informed I need to be present at a DST assessment which I think is a NHS continue funding what do I need to be aware of in advance there will be social worker nurse and someone from the home and myself I am new to all this I realise he needs to fit some type of points system to qualify any help would be REALLY helpful as I would not want to be fobbed of and have Robert miss the help he needs

One day I'll learn to post links, but all the information about the assessment, scoring and all the rest is on the NHS website just search for "DST Assessment" meantime I'll go learn how to post links. K
