    HI,
    It is possible that no assessment is needed if there's enough of evidence to write the report, this is known as a paper based assessment. Rare but it can and does happen.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
