Your IRO and your review

 

Before the meeting your IRO must talk to you in private about what is going to be talked about, and find out your thoughts and feelings.

Your IRO should lead the review meeting, and make sure one person is responsible for making each change to your care plan (if there are any), and your IRO must say when it should be done by.

Your IRO can decide, with your agreement, to delay the meeting if some information is missing or if they think you have not been properly consulted or prepared for the meeting. However, this decision should not be taken lightly, and the meeting must be rearranged for a date within 20 working days. The meeting can only be delayed like this once.

A week after the review your IRO should have made a written record of decisions made at the meeting, which you should get within two weeks of the review.

A full record of everything that was discussed and decided at the meeting should be made within 28 days (based on notes which someone wrote at the meeting) and this must be given to you within 35 days of the review. You and your parents will be given a copy of your new care plan, if changes were made to it.
