Data element attributes
Collection and usage attributes
Guide for use:	This should be the date the investigating officer made a decision regarding whether or not a contact has been substantiated. This data element should always be recorded as an 8-digit valid date comprising day, month and year. Year should always be recorded in its full 4-digit format. For day and months with a numeric value of less than 10, zeros should be used to ensure that the date contains the required 8 digits. For example, if the investigation concluded on 28 September 2004, the date should be recorded as 28092004. If the date is unknown, the date 01011900 should be provided. If an investigation did not conclude during the financial year, the date 11111111 should be provided to indicate that this is the case.
Comments:	This is important to determine the length of time of an investigation.
