Adults can bring a friend, family member or someone else who is part of their support system. If you don’t have someone who can attend but would feel more comfortable with someone else in the room, we can arrange for another member of staff to stay with you during the appointment. You may hear us refer to this person as a “chaperone”. For children and young people, parents may be in the room with them if they wish, however where possible parents will be asked to wait in the waiting room.
