Using this tool

Now let’s take a look at this tool in action.
 
Maria wants a boyfriend. Maria’s mom has contacted the manager saying that she’s worried about Maria’s safety when she is using dating websites or meeting up with people. She’s stopped Maria from going on these sites when she’s at home and it’s causing arguments between them.
 
The manager sets up a meeting with Maria, Maria’s mom, and Maria’s support worker, Harry to look at the situation. They use the what is working/not working tool to look at the situations from everyone’s perspective.

Let’s try it!
