1.1 Identify sources of information about the individual and specific care plan activities
Having a holistic approach will allow us to know better our service user and so, support him in the best way accordingly with his needs.

Accounting with service user provider permission we may obtain more information contacting his relatives, or friends, neighbours and previous care providers. 1.2 Establish the individual’s preferences about carrying out care plan activities

2.3 Adapt actions to reflect the individual's needs or preferences during care plan activities
