Does the NDT Assessment need to be completed at the same time as the Outcome Star?

They will be done around the same time but not necessarily on the same days. The NDT Assessment is done by the project worker/key worker/navigator, without the service user being involved (unlike the Outcome Stars). It is in the projects interests to do it at the Start of Engagement as this will enable them to capture all of the impact that they have on an individual. We are realistic that it may not be possible on ‘day one’ but it should be done at the start.
