- Meet and greet clients via phone, email or in person
- Identify the client’s presenting problem(s) and situation
- Assess the risk/urgency of the client’s issue and their ability to deal with the problem themselves
- Identify and explain the clients’ options
- Ensure clients know that they can get back in touch if necessary
- Refer, signpost & provide information
- Update Casebook to record your client contacts
