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 responsible is recorded as the person believed to have inflicted the most severe abuse or neglect, or most likely to have harmed the child or to have put the child at risk. Where it is not possible to identify the person believed responsible in this way, the person is identified as the one who inflicted the most obvious form of abuse, neglect or harm. Where a child has more than one substantiation throughout the year, the person believed responsible should be recorded for each substantiation. |
