Self-service

Term

Self-service

Definition

A mode of delivery of guidance services in which it is up to the client to select the guidance services, interventions or activities s/he will use.

Comment

In some settings, this is done by the client providing information about him/herself and then being directed automatically to services that might be appropriate. This approach is particularly common where on-line guidance services are being offered as all or part of the guidance service.

Term

Distance guidance services

Definition

Guidance services that are provided remotely, for example by telephone, email or via the internet. The key feature is that the client and guidance worker are not in face-to-face contact and, in the case of automated internet guidance, no guidance worker is directly involved in the delivery of the guidance service.

Comment

Often delivered using ICT.
