Why Smart Support Coordinators Act Early to Protect Their Participants’ Funding, Comfort, and Confidence

If you’ve been a Support Coordinator through at least one Christmas period, you already know how it goes.

December arrives…Operations begin winding down…Providers wrap up the year…And suddenly January hits like a tidal wave — packed calendars, long waitlists, frustrated participants, and claims delays.

One of the services hit hardest every year?👉 Continence assessments.

Yet continence support is not something participants should wait for. It impacts dignity, safety, independence, carer stress, funding utilisation — and often, their whole quality of life.

But here’s the good news: you can skip the new year’s chaos entirely by securing continence assessments before the holiday slowdown starts

Why Booking Now Makes a Huge Difference

1. Protect participants from preventable discomfort and risk

Acting early means:

• no unnecessary skin breakdown

• fewer infections

• less embarrassment or anxiety

• improved sleep and daily functioning

You’re not just booking a report — you’re promoting comfort, confidence and dignity.

2. Reduce your new year workload

   
   

The new year is already heavy with:

• new goals to map

• new plans to interpret

• providers returning from leave

• participants needing urgent support

Taking continence off the “urgent” list is a gift to your future self.

3. Improve participant satisfaction (and strengthen your coordinator-participant relationship)

   
   

Acting proactively builds trust.Support Coordinators tell us participants often say:

“Thank you for sorting this now — I was worried about Christmas coming up.”

It’s the small things that create big and positive client experiences.

4. Common Signs Your Participant Needs a Continence Assessment NOW

Even if continence isn’t the main focus, look out for:

✔ Increased pad use or frequent leaks

✔ Sudden urgency or accidents

✔ Night-time bed wetting

✔ Avoiding community outings for fear of accidents

✔ Skin irritation or recurrent UTIs

✔ Carers feeling overwhelmed

✔ A new plan needing updated reports

✔ No assessment completed in the past 12–24 months

If you can tick even one of these, it may be time.
