Guide for use:
Multiple support services may be chosen that have been identified as needs of the client as identified by the worker at the agency.
Comments:This information can be used to show the range of support services that agencies provide, and whether the needs of clients can be met either through direct service provision at the agency or potentially through referrals to other services. This is important information for service and program planning.
An unmet need is indicated where, for a SAAP client, a need has been identified for a support service, but the support has not been provided directly by the SAAP agency, and there has been no referral arranged to another service in order to receive services that cannot be provided by the agency.
