Suggested Quantatative Indicator 5.1
Social work assessments and contributions to integrated assessments completed within agreed timescales
Detail of Indicator
Number of social work assessments /contributions to integrated assessments that were completed within agreed timescales
- as % of social work assessments /contributions to integrated assessments required
Use of Indicator
There are valid reasons why assessments might be delayed so we would not expect 100% for this indicator. Nationally agreed timescales should be the ones applied; if there are none, authorities and partners should publicise what their locally agreed timescales are. Do not include assessments that are on time by virtue of extension of the timescale even by agreement.
