Support will help people improve their control, understanding and involvement in dealing with the issues that affect them, and assist Service Users to achieve their preferred outcomes. To act as the first point of contact for NPT’s Gateway team to effectively manage the assessment and referrals of new service users. To ensure that monitoring of service user needs are met.
