What does a Not Met rating indicate?

• A. None of the identified needs are adequately addressed and urgent action is required
• B. All identified needs are fully addressed
• C. Some needs are addressed but others require action
• D. Not assessed yet

Answer: (A)

Not Met shows that none of the identified needs have been adequately addressed and that urgent action is required. This rating means there’s no progress on the documented needs, so immediate steps are needed to begin addressing them and reduce risk or gaps in support.

If all needs were addressed, you’d be looking at a fully met status, not Not Met. If some needs are addressed while others still require action, that would be a partial or partial-to-most met situation, not a complete Not Met. Not assessed yet would mean no evaluation has been done, which is different from having evaluated and found no needs addressed.
