Collection and usage attributes | |
Collection methods: | This data element should be recorded at the time of the substantiation of the investigation. Where there is more than one person believed responsible for the abuse, neglect or harm, the person believed most responsible is categorised as the person believed to have inflicted the most severe abuse, neglect or harm, or most likely to have put the child at risk. Where it is not possible to identify the person believed responsible in this way, then the person is categorised as the person who inflicted the most obvious form of abuse, neglect or harm should be recorded. Where a child has more than one substantiation throughout the year, then the person believed responsible should be recorded for each substantiation. |
