pay in order to satisfy the expressed needs. An individual those are selected as one of two or
more option such as enrolling in particular course of action.
Normative needs: It present in when the target population performance is under the
determining norms. Hence, a fifth class that scores 30% less then the criteria is considered as
normative needs (Zissis and Lekkas, 2012). The best option is to decide the norms and make
comparison of those with target audiences.
Comparative needs: These are those need which is used to compare one team or group
with that of another. Like for example in various geographical locations. It is mostly related with
routine data which is collected from number of population.

protection. In the mention case of Baby P these things are completely not their from its
mother side.
 Social need: It is related with need of love, affection, care, friendship and belongingness.
It will help to make other feel motivated to perform their role in best possible manner. It
was not at all with the case of Peter's mother.

early time.
 School need: They are related with specific requirements of students healthcare but
sometime it does not categorised under basic issues such as asthma or for excursions in
