Procedures

The CI Specialist will:

  • Include in the DAS Data System intake and referral notes information about each household member(s) meeting criteria for investigation. This shall include the name, client ID and relationship of the household member to the client of record. The process will be repeated in each additional client record.

  • Alert the APS supervisors of the linked cases via the email notification.
