(a)whether the appointment of an independent visitor would make a positive contribution to C's well-being;
(b)where C is placed at a distance from home, or where C is placed in the area of another local authority or a local authority in England, whether the placement makes it difficult to maintain contact arrangements;
(c)whether C is able to go out independently or whether C experiences difficulties in communicating or with building positive relationships;
(d)whether C is likely to engage in behaviour which may put C at risk of forming inappropriate relationships;
(e)where C is placed in a children's home, whether C's well-being would be promoted by the opportunity to establish a relationship with an independent visitor.
