So I decided to write a<br>piece in the hope of helping to answer that question for those in<br>need, while adding my own flavour to the mix and generally adding to<br>the resources out there. It is also really important when<br>communicating with clients to have something to refer to that tries<br>to sum it up, and points towards further resources.<br><br>I might try to write another more succinct version sometime, but for<br>now I hope you find this useful.
