Nowt on Google - in my reports I have said such like " It was difficult to engage with mr Bloogs because he appeared disorientated and confused. In view of this I terminated the meeting and cannot offer any specific advice" Over to management - this particular case is just a bit more complicated and bound to be acrimonious. However the client DNA so problem over until next week I suppose
My decision is - any grief from the individual or their union rep and I will just stop the meeting (nicely and politely) . Privately I am getting a lot less benevolent when dealing with stroppy clients. One of the main problems (AGAIN!) is the "medicalisation" of management issues as managers are unwilling to tackle.......

[log in to unmask]Did you find anything by googling Sharon?
As I mainly do telephone assessments it's not something I can tell over the phone :)
But I'm wondering about the language we use in reports in such cases - should it be along the lines of "the client presented himself in a manner that was not condusive for assessment; I advise you discuss this with him"?:

Hey Bet,
I have a problem - I'm anosmic so I have a fundamental issue with alcohol or BO related referrals. However, If I did have a client who rocked up 'worse for wear' (and if it wasn't on the referral it would have to be obvious for me!) I would terminate the consultation as how could I say that they had understood my advice, given informed consent etc without them saying that they hadn't really understood?
Your Ken...
