JCP can: co-ordinate forum, structure and document process, act as neutral facilitator, produce a clear service plan detailing allocation of specific tasks, hold regular reviews if needed. Help: people at risk even where multiple services are involved, people with problems with service co-ordination not resolved using usual channels, clients who consistently refuse services placing them at risk in own home, people with breakdown of an existing service plan. Planning forum is held with client and/or their advocate and all relevant SPs. Problems, needs, goals are discussed, collaborative care plan is developed.
