meet with the whole family at the start of the
interview, but at some stage in the assessment of
a younger child, the parent/s or guardian should
be seen without the child being present. Where it
is age appropriate, a younger child must also be

or by meeting with the child alone. An adoles-
cent will usually wish to be seen for some of the
assessment without their parents. The assessment
interview unfolds in a number of stages that are
