How much trust should I put in the decision/advice given to me by my consultant?

Hi @Jen50solihull!

It’s completely understandable to have questions about this. Your consultant has the expertise, but it’s always ok to ask questions and get a second opinion if something doesn’t feel clear or you’d like more reassurance.
