What do I put in ‘health’ on this assessment form?

Filling out an assessment form for DD and it wants to know about her parents, it wants mine and DHs names, DOBs, health and occupation.

I don’t know what to put in the health box, ‘Yes, I have health’? Good? Bad etc?

Do you have any health needs that affect your DD? Disabilities? Chronic health issues she is aware of?

Gettingannoyednow · 18/07/2024 12:10

Or anything genetic?

SonicTheHodgeheg · 18/07/2024 12:14

Allergies?

No, it’s a tiny little box though so even if I did there isn’t room to write much

It probably wants details of health conditions which might affect the assessment. Without knowing what the assessment is for, it’s hard to say, but maybe conditions like heart disease, diabetes, kidney, allergies, learning disabilities?!

I would just put n/a

ShrubRose · 18/07/2024 14:28

I would just write "good."

Normallynumb · 18/07/2024 15:13

I would write Normal

If the assessment form is for health needs or SEN assessment, then any genetic conditions (including ASD, dyslexia etc etc) would be useful for the assessor.
If the form is something like a holiday club then I'd go with NA. If it's for further education or something equally banal I'd just put 'fine, good, poor' or whatever you're happy to disclose.
If it's for a benefit or similar I'd put anything relevant.
Was there a letter or anything to help fill in the form? I'm assuming it's asking for parental health and not your daughter's health, but depending on the form I'd answer it depending on how important/ confidential need to know basis.

Just to add if it's for nursery or similar I'd be tempted to mention any allergies, so nursery staff can keep an eye out, similarly if you or your DD's dad have any SEN it's probably worth noting, so again nursery can be aware and look at getting support in if necessary. But only disclose what you are happy to disclose and if you feel it would be helpful for your dd.

It’s for ADHD/ASD referral form as we’re going down the Right To Choose road instead of through NHS. She’s 13 so long out of nursery 😅

Okay for ADHD / ASD, if you or her dad have either, or dyslexia / dyspraxia diagnosis I'd put it in, as there are links between the conditions, and it's helpful for the clinicians to know.
I hope she gets the support she needs Smile.
