Consultation provides opportunities to collect information, ideas, opinions, and insights from a range of stakeholders. This plays an important role in planning the delivery of support services, both short and long term. The person, their carer, family or others identified by the person can help identify the person's physical, sensory or cultural needs or preferences. Why is this consultation important? You will need to give a relatively detailed answer. Explain the reasons for the consultation process, the way in which support workers can interact with the person and their family/carer, and how consultation can contribute to the provision of inclusive, person centred care
