- DISCONTINUED DATA - Final available dataset: fin_2012_13 An initial assessment is defined as a brief assessment of any child who has been referred to social services with a request that services be provided. An initial assessment is deemed to have started either at the point of referral to a social services department, or when new information on an open case indicates that an initial assessment should be repeated. Initial assessments may lead to three types of outcome: a) no further action; b) the immediate provision of services; c) a more detailed type of assessment (known as a ‘core assessment’) being carried out. This may be carried out even where there is immediate provision of services.
(x/y) * 100
x = The number of initial assessments completed, in the period between 1 April and 31 March, within ten working days of referral.
y = The overall of initial assessments completed in the period between 1 April and 31 March.
Working together to Safeguard Children guidance has changed the timescale to complete an initial assessment to 10 working days from April 2010
