| Overall ranking | This was one of the 20 questions at the workshop that fell outside of the Top 10. These were not ranked in any order of priority |
| JLA question ID | 0060/18 |
| Explanatory note | Open and honest communication at this time can be difficult; we know that early conversations between the young person, family members and professionals is crucial. A decision that involves all these parties is essential, but what initiates that conversation will be different for each young person: a young person needs to be enabled to voice their concerns. |
