Summary

CareDirector Youth is an application, developed by CareWorks, which uses a case management approach to record the services that are provided to Social Services clients.

The system includes a client module containing personal details and family household information. Referrals may be logged against these clients and electronically allocated for

Assessment and Care Management.

Standard forms are electronically stored and are presented as HTML documents.

Information from the database is automatically inserted into these documents. Data entered into the documents may be processed to update the database. This means that users can interact with the system through their standard forms on screen.

To avoid transcription, previously recorded forms may be cloned and become the basis for current assessments or forms.

The system includes automated electronic mail notifications to inform users of key events during the management of a case. Authorities can configure these email notifications based on workflows configured.

Each time a piece of information is accessed on the system, the system stores a record.

Audit Trails show the date and time that an item has been read or updated.

CareDirector Youth Security

Users of CareDirector Youth will not automatically be given access to all available

CareDirector Youth modules. When a user logon is created in the system, the logon name will be associated with a security profile for each module to which they require access. This profile will grant the user access to the module and will further control the level of detail visible to the user within that module, as well as the actions that the user may carry out in that module.

For example, a user in the Child Protection Team may be allowed to read and update all information stored in the Child Protection module, whereas a user in another Children’s team may only be allowed to view a limited summary of the Child Protection information, and have no update access.

A detailed planning exercise may be carried out on each customer site in consultation with

CareWorks and a number of Module profiles will be created appropriate to the requirements of the authority. During setup, users will be assigned to the profiles that match their business needs.

Since each site may have vastly differing profiles, it is not possible to provide a single training manual which exactly matches individual profiles. Therefore this manual is based on the default module profiles that are available with CareDirector Youth “out of the box”, before customers apply their own customisations.

Accordingly, the screen shots used in this document may not always be an exact match for the corresponding screen available on a customer site – indeed screens may differ between users on the same site, depending on the number of profiles created for each module. In general, all available fields are shown in the default module profiles, so screens on your customer site will be a sub set of those shown here.

Localisation

Localisation is a feature of CareDirector Youth that allows all the field labels and text in the system to be changed to reflect local terminology and practise. One example of this usage is the translation of screens into Welsh.

Furthermore the population of data in the drop down fields can be fully amended by each

Local Authority or HSE.

This training manual uses the standard English terminology and screens of CareDirector

Youth. Readers should bear in mind that screen pictures shown in this manual may differ from the screens available on their particular site, if localisation has been implemented.

Workflow

Workflow is designed to allow Raise users to tailor the application to match their business processes. In particular, it allows authorities to define their own requirements for mandatory data fields, and also to specify mandatory processes to be followed.

This manual is based on the use of the default workflows that are available with

CareDirector Youth ‘Out of the Box’. It should be borne in mind that the workflows implemented on your site may be different and may require different steps to be carried out.

The Personal Details, Referrals, Child Protection, Looked After Children and Leaving Care modules contain actions controlled by Workflow.

Following the default workflow

When following steps for setting up a client, you will receive prompts on actions to take.

These actions lead you through setting up a client in YOT by default.

Example workflow process

A Look at Screen Layout

The first time a user logs on to CareDirector Youth, they are presented with the Work

Management screen - the layout of which, is typical of all screens in CareDirector Youth.

May 2014

Each screen of the CareDirector Youth application is divided into two: Modules are listed on the left-hand side with a

working window

on the right-hand side.

The

modules

are grouped under

menus

, according to the type of service they are relevant to. Each menu is opened by single-clicking on the menu title. The above example shows modules listed under the

My RAISE

menu.



Note: Modules visible to a user will depend on their user access as configured using Profile

Based Security.

To go to a

module

simply click on the module name.

For example, to go to the

Assessments

module, click on

Assessments in the left-hand window.

Some modules such as Personal Details, Service Placements, Child Protection etc. are made up of sub-modules (denoted by a + beside the module name).

The

sub-modules

can be viewed by clicking on the

+

. The list of sub-modules can be closed by clicking on the

–

. (The

+

changes to a

when the list is expanded).

After logging in, the initial

working window

shows the logged on worker’s Work

Management screen. Users can change this initial screen to match their Personal

Preferences e.g. if a user prefers to be presented with a list of current Referrals, they can set that screen as their start-up form.

This course looks at other screens that appear in the working window of the Personal

Details, Referrals and Assessments modules, as well as the Work Management module.



Details about setting User Preferences may be found in Session 6 of this course.

The CareDirector Youth Banners

Fixed Banner

In each of the modules, the top of the working window gives useful information about the current screen.

The banner includes the name of the current module. This information is useful in navigating through the system. If a client has been selected, the banner includes the Name and Age of the client, as well as a Referral Number if appropriate.

Some examples of banners are shown below:



Reminder: Use the banner to find out which module of CareDirector Youth you are currently in and the name of the client you are currently working with. As you move from module to module, the selected client name remains in the banner, as you continue to work with that client in every module until you select another client.

Scrolling Banner

In addition to the fixed banner shown on all screens, it is possible for each user to add an additional ‘Scrolling Banner’ which displays further information about the selected case, as shown in the example below.



Details about setting User Preferences may be found in Session 6 of this course.

Workflow Banner

In Workflow Enabled modules, the banner includes

up to six

coloured squares that are used to access Workflow Related information or to proceed to the next step in a Workflow. These squares have tool-tips which indicate their purpose. Workflow control is reviewed further in subsequent sessions of this course.

Screen Controls

Saving Changes

Changes entered on any screen in CareDirector Youth are only saved when the or buttons have been clicked.



Note: It is not simply a matter of entering the data and moving to another screen. This will not save the data.

General Control Buttons

The Update or Insert button always appears at the bottom of the working window, when a form is being entered or changed, along with other control buttons. The buttons that appear will change, depending on the module being used and the profile of the logged in user within that module. For example, in Personal Details the following buttons may be displayed when an existing record is being viewed.

If there is no client selected, then the Update button is replaced by the to add a record once the form is completed.

A different set of buttons is displayed when looking at the Referral list window.

Because this is a list of records, there is no Update button. Details of the buttons on each module will be covered in the corresponding chapter of this manual.

Displaying Records

Records are displayed in a grid.

There are indicators at the bottom of the screen of the records dispalyed:

Ref Count: The number of records displayed on the screen.

Client Count: The number of clients for which records are displayed.

Hid Count: The number of records filtered which the user cannot view as they do not have access.



Remember: Profile Based Security means that the buttons displayed on any screen can be altered to suit the module profile associated with the logged on user.

My RAISE

The My RAISE menu contains modules specific to the user who is currently logged into

CareDirector Youth, designed to assist that user in their day to day work and in setting up their personal preferences.

(enabling the user to configure personal alert notifications). There is also an additional their tasks), User Preferences (enabling the user to configure various

Users are given access to the My CareDirector Youth menu when they are set up by a

CareDirector Youth settings), and Alert Me,

Systems Administrator to be a member of the Module Profile entitled ‘User Module’ (see

Profile Based Security Manual for further details).

Work Management Module

The Work Management module is used to track a worker’s tasks. Workflow configuration allows an entry to be placed on the Work Management screen when an activity is created – e.g. when an assessment document is created. The workflow can also set the expected time for completion of the task, causing the user to see at a glance the tasks which are due for completion by a certain date.

It is also possible to view the work management tasks of team members using the Agency/ team/ role pick lists.

It should be noted that these drop down lists are security controlled and depending on the agreed security within your authority may be limited to only allowing access to the individual workers tasks.

The tasks tracked depend on the workflow configurations implemented on your site.

Work Management is accessed by selecting Work

Management from the list of modules in the left- hand window, under the

My RAISE

menu.

When accessed, the screen displays a list of tasks for the logged on user. Each task has a

status

There are 4 possible status values as follows:



Pending

The task is started.

Warning

Overdue

The task has a due date 2 days from today.

The task has passed its due date.

Completed

The task has been completed – i.e. a document has a completion date or a planned meeting has an Actual Date.

Example of Tracking a Document Status

Assessment documents that are set up using workflow can be given timescales for completion. For example, a document may be set up with a duration of 7 days – i.e. it must be completed 7 days after it is started. Once the document is created, it becomes an active task in the Work Management screen for the worker, with a status of

Pending

. The Start

Date is set to the Start Date of the document and a Due Date is calculated based on 7 days from the start date. This due date is also displayed in the Work Management Task List.

In the example shown above, the Initial Assessment has a duration of 7 days, so the due date is for a document started on the 4 th

Feb is 11 th

Feb.

The Work Management module then tracks the progress of the document, changing the

status

as required (see below).

Summary

Personal Details

The Personal Details module in CareDirector Youth contains client details, details of relationships between the client and other people and details of professionals who have an on-going involvement with them.

Links to address matching and verification software are provided.

The Personal Details module also holds Education and Health details, which may be required when completing assessments during the course of a case.

A facility to record and search against names that the client is “also known as” is provided.

A history of name and address changes is maintained by the system.

Details of any Legal Status record for a client, other than the Legal Status of a Looked After

Child may be entered in Personal Details, as well as any other significant event for the client.

Searching for a Person

In order to update Personal Details a search can be used to find the person on the system.

When the user selects the Personal Details module for the first time, on login to

CareDirector Youth, the screen presented is the Client Search screen, enabling the user to search before entering a new client, to ensure they are not already entered onto the system.

For example, when setting up a new client or entering their family members and other relationships.

Once a client has been selected, and their record opened on screen, clicking into the

Personal Details module will present the Personal Details screen for that client.

To search for a client within CareDirector Youth from this point onwards after login, the user will select the

Client Search

module.

To Search for a Person

Click on the Client Search module in the left-hand window of the screen, underneath the Personal Details module.

The Client Search screen appears as shown below:

Enter some client details to search on, and click .

CareDirector Youth will search through its database looking for people who match the criteria and displays the results in the bottom section of the screen.

The user can scroll through the results using the scroll bar and arrows to the right-hand side of the results.

1. Double-click on a line to select the person. Their information will then be displayed in the Personal Details screen. If a number of people satisfy the search criteria, it may be useful to scroll horizontally to view the Date of Birth and Address details to confirm that the correct person is selected,

2. Click on to close the screen without selecting an individual,

3. Select someone and if when their details are displayed in the Personal Details screen, they are not the client you intended on opening, click on search screen, to re-open the same results list (as explained below).

Note:

If the CareDirector Youth Client number is known, it can be entered in the

Client No

field on the Search dialog. In this case the button in the Top frame is used to search for the person and only one record will be displayed in the Search Result list.

Repeating a Search

If the personal details screen shows that the wrong person has been selected from the

Search Results list, the user can click to the

Client Search

module on the CareDirector Youth tree, and click the button. This button causes CareDirector Youth to search using the same criteria as entered in the last search, without re-entering the details on the

Search Dialog form.

The Search Results list is re-displayed and the correct person can be selected.

Hints and Tips on Searching

Searching on Surname

To search for people with a surname of Brown, type the word

Brown

into the surname field and click on search.

CareDirector Youth will search through its database looking for people whose surname (or

a previous surname

alias

) matches the criteria and displays the results:

Using Soundex in the Search

Click the Soundex check box before clicking on search to include “sound likes”. It can be used with any of the name fields. For example, doing a soundex search for people whose surname is

Smith

will match Smith, Smyth, Smithy, etc.

Using Wildcards in the Search

It is also possible to use the wildcard character (

*

) to search. Wildcards can be used in any of the fields and multiple times. For example: Searching with a First Name of Dan

*

would find

Dan, Daniel, Danny, etc. Searching for a Surname of M

*

finds names like McDonald,

MacAfee, March, etc.

Searching is Not Case Sensitive

You may enter the text in uppercase or lowercase.

Remember

: CareDirector Youth functionality will ensure that users have searched before attempting to add a client, to check that the client is not already on the system.

To Set Up a New Client

 On clicking into the Personal Details module without a client record already selected, the user is presented with the Client Search screen.

 If a client is already selected within the Personal Details screen, click on the

button within Personal Details. A message will ask “Do you want to clear the current record?” On clicking OK to continue, the user is presented with the

Client Search screen.

 Alternatively, users can click straight to the Client Search module on the CareDirector

Youth tree at any time, to search for a client record.

 If the client does not appear within the results following a thorough search, clicking on the button opens a new Personal Details screen, to enable the user to create a new client record. The search criteria entered for the client search, are automatically populated into the Personal Details screen, while all other fields are blank for the user to enter manually, as displayed below:

Lead Professional

On clicking the button at the right hand side of the

Personal Details

screen, the user will be presented with the Lead Professional screen, enabling them to specify or view the lead professional for the currently selected client.

The button is also located in the

Referral Allocation

screen and the

Secondary Allocation

screen, as outlined in

Fundamentals Session 5

for the Referrals module. These routes enable the user allocating the referral to record the lead professional for the case at the point of allocation.

Having an access route to the

Lead Professional

screen from the

Personal Details

screen enables the Lead Professional information to be maintained for clients in situations where there are no current referrals for the client, and/or where a user does not have access to any of the client’s referrals. This route can also be used as a shortcut to obtain Lead Professional information quickly after searching for a client, without having to first locate a referral.

On clicking a button, the user is presented with the same screen, to record new and/or view all entries that have been recorded previously, regardless of which

button has been used.

The Lead Professional screen displays as shown below:

fields are mandatory, and these fields display values according to the Systems Administration Team, Role and Staff Set Up, as in all other locations throughout CareDirector Youth where these fields are displayed.

The Start Date is also a mandatory field in order to indicate a particular point in time for the current (and in time, historical) Lead Professionals.

The

End Date

is an optional field, enabling users to complete it as and when the end date for the current Lead Professional becomes known and/or relevant.

On clicking the user is presented with an information message to confirm that the record has been inserted successfully, and the Lead Professional details display in the grid listing as shown below:



Note

On accessing any of the

buttons, all Lead Professional entries (both historical and current) will be displayed, regardless of which screen the button was accessed in, to record the original entry.

If a record is selected when the user clicks the button, then the record becomes deselected, and all fields in the screen will become blank once again.

If the user has entered some information into the fields in the screen when the button is clicked, then all fields will become blank and the information entered will not have been saved.

If a record is entered in error, the user can single click on the record in the list to highlight it and the button becomes enabled. On clicking , the user is presented with a message to ask whether they are sure they wish to delete the record. On clicking

to the message, the Lead Professional record is deleted from the list, and the user is presented with a message to confirm the successful deletion.

Clicking the button within the Lead Professional screen returns the user back to the Personal Details screen.

Updating the Lead Professional

If and when the Lead Professional changes, users will need to record further entries to the

Lead Professional screen (rather than updating the existing record), in order to retain historical Lead Professionals information in addition to recording the current one.

On clicking the or button on the Lead Professional screen, an automatic validation will run to check that there are no

overlapping

Lead Professional records, and ensuring that only one entry can be recorded as the current Lead Professional at any given time.

The

current

Lead Professional will be recorded with a mandatory Start Date, but no end date as shown in the example below (or with an optional End

Date in the future if known).

Before adding an entry for the

Merge Info

If there are two records within CareDirector Youth for the same client, and information has been added to both records (so one of them cannot be deleted), it is possible to ‘merge’ one record into the other, resulting in just one record for the client.

This may occur for example, where a client has been entered onto the system twice in error, or where two clients have been added to the system and it becomes known at a later date that one of the names was an alias for the same person and not in fact two separate people as first appeared.

The Merge facility itself is within the System Administration module, but the Merge Info screen within Personal Details indicates whether there has been a ‘merge’ performed on the client’s record, and provides information about the merge(s).

In this example, there used to be two records within CareDirector Youth for Daisy Coleman; a record with Client Number 514069 (Merged From) and a second record with Client

Number 513693 (Merged To):

The record that had the ‘Merged From’ Client Number no longer exists, as the information from that record has been merged into the ‘Merged To’ record. The current record, which has kept the ‘Merged To’ Client Number, is now the sole existing record within CareDirector

Chapter 7) Hearing details

Introduction

This module allows you to record and track the progress of a young person through the courts with their related offence(s). In addition you can record who was present in court and the decisions, such as Remand and Bail, made at each individual court appearance. The routes taken by a young person can be very varied and consequently you need to accurately record the movements and outcomes of each hearing.

Function

Creating a Court Hearing

In our example there are four hearings which deal with two offences. The first is a remand and bail hearing where the young person appears and the case with the two offences is simply adjourned for a week. At the second adjournment hearing they take the pleas and the young person pleads guilty to one offence and not guilty to the other. The court imposes a sentence of a fine on the one offence but adjourns the other for two weeks to a trial. At the third hearing, which is a trial, the young person is found guilty and the case is adjourned for two week with a request for a Pre-Sentence Report. At the final hearing which is the second sentence hearing the young person is sentenced to a Referral Order.

Hearing 1 – A Remand and Bail Hearing

You select the Hearing Details module by clicking on hearing details in the left-hand menu:

You will be presented with the Hearing Details screen:

120

 Note:

There are a number of buttons on this screen. Their functions are as outlined below.

The

button opens up a screen that allows basic searches to be conducted:

button allows you to print off hearings:

The button allows you choose details of hearings and export to Excel:

121

May 2014

If you tick the box then you will see all the young person’s hearings and not just the ones related to the particular referral.

You click on the Insert button to create the new hearing:

122

May 2014

Fill in the Hearing Date by typing in the date in the agreed formats (07 Jan 2007, 22/01/07 or

22.01.07) or by clicking on the calendar:

Next to that you will see a number in a box:

This signifies that this is the first hearing in the sequence of hearings that may arise.

You are also able to record whether it is a morning or afternoon hearing:

In the next field CareDirector Youth will always default the Proceeding Type to Criminal:

 Note:

It will be necessary to change this to Civil if you are recording an Anti-Social

Behaviour Order that was given in a Civil Hearing.

You then choose your Court Type:

You enter the name of the Court:

If necessary you can enter the number of the Court:

The next box will default to the Court Name and you will only change it if the hearing is at a different location:

123

 Note:

In a number of counties the Youth Bench may sit at different locations.

Record the Type of Hearing:

Bail or Remand proposed:

Here you can record the type of bail or remand proposed for the the young person.

The next four tick boxes each have a specific purpose and you will need to tick them if they are relevant to the hearing you are currently entering.

The first of these relates to the possibility that the young person may receive a Secure Remand at the hearing that is being entered. This is required for CareDirector Youth to calculate the

ISSP Route C which partly involves the young person being at risk of receiving such a remand.

124

The second of these again relates to ISSP but this time it is in connection with Route D. This is where a young person has been released from custody within the last six months and at this particular hearing or a future hearing could be sentenced again to custody:

The third will always default to being ticked as CareDirector Youth assumes the young person will attend court. If they do not then you un-tick the box:

The final one relates to what are termed ‘Technical Remands in Custody’. This is where a young person is already remanded or has been sentenced to custody and appears in the same or another court on further offences. At that hearing the Youth Bench may give a Conditional

Bail or a similar status as they know the young person is already in custody. If this is the case you would tick this box:

Within Hearing Details you enter any details that are necessary:

 Note:

If you make a mistake then the cancel button

will clear the screen for re-entry. If you wish to delete the hearing the delete button will delete the hearing. However before the actual hearing can be deleted any offences or outcomes attached to that hearing or subsequent hearings will need to be removed.

Once completed you click on the Insert button appear:

and a confirmation message will

125

Entering the First Hearing’s Offence Details

Once acknowledged CareDirector Youth will automatically open the Hearing Offence Details screen, as it requires you to input the offences that the young person is appearing for and other outcomes that arise from the hearing:

Your first action in the Available Offences box is to tick the two offences that the young person is appearing for at that hearing.

 Note:

This box is made up of all the offences connected to that young person and which have not yet had a substantive outcome recorded against them. It is not referral specific but will take offences from all of the young person’s referrals which have no substantive outcome.

If the reason for hearing offences is not correct for the particular offence you are dealing with then you re-select the type of hearing. In our example both offences have been adjourned to another date:

Any further hearing details related to the offences can be added here:

The Next Hearing Date can then be entered:

Bail or Remand Imposed:

126

Records if Bail or remand has been imposed.

If Remanded to Youth Detention Accommodation is recorded, the new remand outcome is mapped to YJB Remand Decision Type ‘Youth Detention Accommodation’.

CareDirector Youth will default Plea Entered to Not taken unless you alter the entry. In this example the plea was not taken at the remand and bail hearing:

 Note:

It is important that you enter the plea at the hearing when it is taken.

The bail or remand imposed is then entered along with any comments relating to those conditions:

At this hearing the court has adjourned to another date but have not requested a Pre-

Sentence Report:

Once this completed you click on Insert button field following a confirmation message:

and the entry is made into the bottom

127

May 2014

You then hit the Back button .

The hearing becomes a line on the hearing details grid:

Hearing 2 – The Adjournment/Sentence Hearing

To insert the next hearing you click on and CareDirector Youth will automatically default to the next hearing date that you had entered previously in Appearance Offence

Details.

You will then need to enter, the Type of Hearing and any Hearing Details before pressing the

button.

128

You will be taken to the Appearances Offences Details where you will see the offences in the bottom box;

The next stage depends entirely on what happens in court. If for example all offences are to be dealt with together at a future hearing you will tick the box .

This then brings all the offences forward and you will recognise this by the following message in the Offence Detail:

However in our example the young person was pleading guilty to one offence and not guilty to the other, therefore each offence would be dealt with separately. You will tick the tick box to the left of the first offence:

And you will see the chosen offence appear in Offence Details:

The first offence where the young person has pleaded guilty and the court have imposed a sentence of a fine you will fill in as follows and then click on the Update button:

You will tick the tick box to the left of the second offence:

You will see the chosen offence appear in Offence Details:

For the second offence the young person has pleaded not guilty and the court has adjourned for two weeks for a trial. This will appear as follows:

129

 Note:

If for any reason an offence has to be deleted from the hearing it is not sufficient to simply highlight it but you must also put a tick in the selected box.

You then click on Back INSERT and you will be returned to the grid where you see three grid lines:

The Adjournment Status of the second two lines will need to be changed to Sentence as this status is required to put the outcome of the fine against the first offence. You re-open one of the two and change the Hearing Type from Adjournment to Sentence and click on Update.

Following the confirmation message and clicking on Back will now show you the following screen:

 Note:

At this stage you would actually record the outcome of the fine. The details will be dealt with in the Outcomes module. This would have the effect of removing the first offence as one that can be used in future hearings.

130

button:

You will be taken to the Appearances Offences Details where you will see the offence in the bottom box and you select that offence. Complete as follows:

When setting a Sentence Date and asking for reports you are required to fill in the following fields:

You will tick the PSR (Pre-Sentence Report) Requested box, choose a value in PSR Directions and fill in a PSR Due Date:

131

 Note:

The values in PSR Directions are as follows:

Serious First Tier penalties such as Conditional Discharge or Fine

Serious Enough Community Penalties such as Action Plan or Reparation Order

So Serious Community Penalties/Custody – such as DTO or Supervision Order

 Note:

The PSR Due Date is normally the same date as the Sentence Date but occasionally there may be an additional Remand Hearing before the actual sentence date.

After you have clicked the update button and clicked the back button

you will be returned to the Hearings List where you now will see four hearings:

Hearing 4 – The Final Sentence Hearing

To insert the next hearing you click on and CareDirector Youth will automatically default to the next Hearing Date that had been entered previously in Appearance Offence

You will be taken to the Appearances Offences Details where you will see the offence in the bottom box and you select that offence. Complete as follows:

 Note:

At this stage you would actually record the outcome of the Referral Order. The details will be dealt with in the Outcomes module. This would have the effect of removing the offence as one that can be used in future hearings.

After you have clicked the update button and clicked the back button

you will be returned to the Hearings List where you now will see five hearings:

Where known this can be entered and

CareDirector Youth

will then calculate the End Date automatically. In the case of certain programmes such as prevention programmes it is unnecessary unless they are a fixed duration. Can be recorded as number of nights.

This refers to what is the main programme in relation to the originating referral. Where the programme is created automatically from an

Outcome, this box will then be automatically filled. Where a programmes commences before the outcome is known (such as a Final Warning

Programme) or where there is no outcome such as a Prevention

Programme this will need to be ticked when the programme is automatically created.

This is calculated by taking the Agreed Date from the Start Date, minus weekends and bank holidays. This is used for various National Standards and will vary dependent upon the type of programme.

This is the date on which the programme starts and/or the date on which the young person is sentenced.

Agreed Date This will vary dependent upon the type of programme. For example for a

Referral Order Programme it will be the date on which the Initial Panel meets. In this example the date is needed to create the End Date as a

Referral Order duration runs from the date of the Initial Panel meeting.

153

End Date

Supervision Orders, Community Rehabilitation Orders and Custodial programmes require this date for National Standard purposes.

This is the date on which the programme finishes or the court order runs out. If duration is entered then this will be calculated automatically.

You then have two choices, to identify an existing document you wish to update or create a new document.

 Note:

It is important that if you choose to update an existing document by the Re-assess button then, with the exception of a Core Asset that has been case staged, the original document will be overwritten. If you need to keep the original then you should use the Clone facility on all documents except Core and Final Warning Assets.

Identifying an Existing Document

You can use the scroll facility on the right hand side to move up and down the document lists.

If there a large number of documents then you can sort by clicking on the relevant column head.

Once identified a double click on the line will open up the relevant document.

 Note:

A document that has a green tick in the completed column is read only. If you wish to make amendments to that document you will need to highlight the document line and click the Reassess button .

You will then see the following message:

163

This is reminding you that you are opening up an existing document and possibly choosing to make changes.

 Note:

Once opened, the date entry that had the function of locking the document will become blank. All pre-populated fields will be updated for example if the client’s address has changed the new address will be displayed.

Clicking on OK at this stage will unlock the document and a double click will allow you to view their chosen document.

For the purposes of this section of the manual our chosen document is a Core Asset.

 Note:

Once a document is opened it is functioning as an HTML document outside of

CareDirector Youth. Therefore it is possible for the application to be timed out without you being aware of the timeout. Consequently you may lose the data you have input to that point. CareWorks advises all users to constantly save as you work in a document.

Create a New Document

Choose a value in the category, this section of the manual we will choose a Core Asset.

This will reveal the Type of document that makes up the category. In our example you have chosen a Core Asset.

You then have to Associate the document with one of the following:



Referral



Hearing



Outcome



Programme

166



Panel Meeting

The choice of which value to associate it with depends upon what type of document is being done. For example:



An ONSET document or any prevention document is likely to be associated with the referral or programme.



A Final Warning or Core Asset is likely to be associated with the hearing (in the case of a PSR) or the outcome.



A Referral Order Panel report is likely to be associated with a Panel Meeting.



A Pre-Sentence Report is likely to be associated with the Sentence Hearing.

Once the association is made the Document Information tab will reveal the associations. In our case it will show the outcomes available. You complete the association by ticking the right disposal.

You then click Insert and the document will appear.

Please note that in the categories Other Report and Panel Report you will be required to fill in a Start Date.

Ascribing Case Stages to a Core Asset

Purpose

The Case Stages tab allows you to attach the right case stage to a Core Asset as these are required for quarterly and annual reporting purposes. This function allows an assessment to be recorded and retained exactly how it was at a particular moment in time. You are then able to view historical documents as they were originally created. In addition you need only create one asset which becomes a continuous assessment that has a ‘snapshot’ taken of it periodically. In the case of Core Assets you will have the ability to Re-assess a closed document and will no longer need to Clone documents.

170

Function

A user selects the Core Asset by highlighting with a single click. If no case stages have been ascribed to the Asset you will see the following prompt:

 Note:

Only documents that have a green tick in the completed column can be given a case stage.

You then click on the Case Stage tab, choose the appropriate Case Stage:

 Note:

The Start of Order and ISSP Start should be one and the same document unless the

YOT and ISSP teams operate separately. In the former the same Asset can be given two case stages whilst in the latter it will be two separate documents. The End of Order and ISSP end are likely to be separate documents unless the Order is a 6 month one.

You proceed to choose what this case stage Applies To;

Finally you choose from the drop down list.

171

To save the Case Stage you click on Insert prompt:

and are presented with the following

Following clicking of the case stage is inserted as a gridline:

Within the Case Stage field three functions are available to you:

Delete When you want to delete a case stage it is either because you have entered the wrong case stage or you need to add information at a later stage that was missing at the time of insertion.

CareDirector Youth assumes that it is the latter and when you has highlighted the correct case stage and clicked on Delete the following prompt appears;

Cancel will stop deletion and OK will present you with the following prompt;

172

May 2014

Clicking on OK will launch the original document to allow you to make the amendments required. If none are required fill in the Completed Date to match the original date, click on

Save followed by Close. It will show a cloned entry of the original document in the grid.

Having acknowledged this message you can then ascribe the correct stage by undertaking the steps outlined earlier.

E-mail At certain points it may be necessary to e-mail documents to other agencies such as the

Youth Justice Board’s Placement Team. The approach you take will depend upon the following:



Your version of CareDirector Youth is connected to an SMTP server

Your version of CareDirector Youth is connected to an Web mail server

You are part of the YJB Connectivity Pilot

Please see section on e-mailing documents.

Ascribing the Next Case Stage

Following the ascribing of the first case stage you may leave the completed Asset until such time as you do a further assessment or immediately re-assess the document so that further assessment can take place.

To re-assess highlight the particular document and click on the following prompt is displayed:

button. The

173

Clicking OK re-opens the Asset in our example, and you can commence the re-assessment.

 Note:

Once a document has lost its Completed Status then you can ‘Lock’ that document by using the button.

When using this button you will receive the following prompt:

Once the work is completed on the document the functions outlined earlier in ‘Identifying an

Existing Document’ are again available.

Once the assessment is completed then the steps outlined in ‘Ascribing a Case Stage’ can be followed.

Using the Case Stage Functions to Change the Content of an Assessment Document

Description

The route that a young person takes is often complicated and does not follow a set pattern.

The two functions of reassess and association allow you to change the contents of their assessment at the moment the young person changes direction. In our example a young person is on a Referral Order and the practitioner has completed their Start of Order Asset.

The young person then appears in court for new offences which is adjourned for reports. The practitioner then has to do a new PSR Asset prior to doing their Pre-Sentence Report. The two functions allow the original Start of Order Asset to be utilised for the PSR Asset.

174

Function

In our example you can see a completed Asset in the bottom box and a Start of Order Asset showing in the Case Stage box.

The young person then commits more offences, appears in court and it is adjourned for reports. You are now required to do a PSR Asset and wish to use the Asset highlighted above in dark blue.

You highlight the Core Asset and click on the following prompt:

button. This will open up the

You click on which will open the Asset. You will notice at this stage that the offences within the Asset still relate to the original Referral Order:

Please ignore this as these will change to the correct offence/s when you ascribe the new PSR

Case Stage.

Make the necessary changes and then date, save and close the document. Once the document is completed and you have the green tick you can ascribe the new case stage, as outlined earlier:

175

Ascribing that case stage will change the offence/s to the correct ones:

The ascribing of a case stage will always put in the correct offences. So in this example, if you returned to Core Asset to re-assess for the End Order case stage for the original Referral Order and then ascribed the right case stage it will remove the offence/s related to the PSR Asset and put in the offence/s related to the original Referral Order.

Completing a Pre-Sentence Report

Purpose

This functionality allows you to construct a pre-sentence report, record the proposal and if the young person is ISSP eligible, but a proposal is being made that does not include ISSP, to record why ISSP is not being proposed.

Function

You click on the Assessment and Documentation icon on the left hand side to open up the screen:

176

May 2014

Once these are chosen you will see a change to the screen as outlined below:

You then choose from Association the value of Hearing and proceed then to tick the appropriate hearing where your report will be considered:

177

The fields within the Document Information should be filled in as follows:

Date Requested This is the date that the court requested the report be written by the YOT. In most cases it will be the adjournment hearing that precedes the sentence hearing.

End date This is the date on which you completed the report and it was ready to go to court.

Date Sent This is the date it was dispatched to court.

Due date This is the date when the report will be used.

Working Days

Comments

The completed fields should be as follows

This records the number of working days taken to complete the report. It is calculated by looking at the number of working days from the requested date to the end date.

This allows you to record any relevant comments such as the fact that the report has been checked.

178

Once these fields are completed you click on and this will open the report:

You then complete the report and have the facility for the following functions:

Save This allows you to save the document.

View in Word This allows you to view the document in Word and save outside of

CareWorks YOT if necessary. When viewing the document as

Word you are then able to print for court purposes.

This allows you to close the document. Close

When you save and close the report it will appear as a line in the grid:

You then need to highlight the line by a single click and click on the Proposal tab. The following will appear:

You will record in the Proposal tab the proposal that you have outlined as part of your report.

You will then record a nominal duration based on your proposal:

Please note that next to the Cancel button you will see a message in either blue or red that indicates that the young person is or is not ISSP eligible:

In those instances where the young person is ISSP eligible and you are not proposing ISSP as part of their proposal you can record the reason you are not proposing ISSP:

180

Once this is done you click on the

Proposal box:

button and the proposal will appear as a line in the

 Note:

When viewing in Word please remember that any changes you make will not be saved within the original HTML version inside the application. CareWorks advises that the only changes made to any report should be those relating to layout.

Recording a Bail Proposal

This allows you to record bail proposals, normally for ISSP, that are made at various hearings. In this case the young person has been remanded in custody and at their hearing and subsequent hearings the Bail or ISSP team present the court with a bail option as opposed to further remands in custody.

Function

You click on the Assessment and Documentation icon on the left hand side to open up the screen:

You choose the Category of Other Report:

Chapter 12) Appeals

The Appeals module allows you to record Appeals against conviction or duration and their progress. In order for the appeal process to work the first action is to enter an Appeal

Hearing within Hearing Details. Once this is entered the Appeal function has a link to the correct Hearings.

An Appeal Hearing is entered into Hearings. It will normally be the last in a sequence of hearings. In this example there had been two previous court hearings and the appeal was the third in the sequence:

When you are taken into Hearing Offence Details you can simply click on the back button as no offences need entering. The only time that you would use this screen is if the appeal is adjourned and if that is the case you would change the type of hearing from appeal to adjournment and obviously the next one would be the Appeal Hearing.

This will result in Hearing Type of Appeal being on grid:

At this point you click on the menu item Appeals:

200

The entry you have made in hearings will be displayed as a gridline:

You then double click on the line in the grid which will show:

Fill in details. The appeal hearing entered will appear on the drop down for Appeal Hearing.

The related outcomes will show within Outcomes and you choose the appropriate one. The appeal type will either be against conviction or against sentence so please ensure you choose the right one:

201

Once these are completed click on take you to the Appeal Details:

. It will enter a grid entry on Appeal Hearings and

Click on the Appeal Details tab and complete. The Outcome being appealed will automatically populate. A decision needs to be made based on the outcome of the appeal:

If it is Appeal Withdrawn or Sentence Affirmed the process ends.

If it is Sentenced Varied then the sentence can be either increased or decreased in length or replaced with a completely new outcome. In our first example an order has been increased

202

from 6 to 12 months and consequently

CareDirector Youth

takes you to the programme screen to alter the end date of the programme.

In our second example the sentence given was a new order and in this case the 6 month

Supervision Order was replaced with a 6 month Detention and Training Order. It will confirm that you have varied the sentence:

You will be taken to the Programmes where you will see the original programme and the new one:

You will need to conclude the original programme:

203

May 2014

And update the new programme:

When you now view the Outcomes the original outcome has become a historical outcome and turned red whilst the new one remains active and in black:

If it is an appeal against Conviction and it is successful then the original outcome no longer stands in law:

204

May 2014

However the outcome will still be displayed for historical purposes and will be in red.

 Note:

In the case of Sentence Varied or Conviction Overturned

CareDirector Youth

will hold a historical record of the original outcome but it will not count in any returns. The other two

Appeal Withdrawn or Sentence Affirmed are self explanatory.

Chapter 15) Groups & Events/Incidents

This session describes the purpose of the Groups & Gangs modules and how to view and record Groups & Gangs and associated people and events, within CareDirector Youth.

 At the end of this session delegates will be familiar with

 The Purpose of the Groups & Gangs modules

 Recording, Updating and Deleting a Group or Gang, Characteristics, Members, associated Persons and Opponents of a Group or Gang and related Events and

Incidents

 Managing the List screens for Groups & Gangs, Characteristics, Members, associated

Persons and Opponents of a Group or Gang and related Events and Incidents

 Searching, Saving and Printing Groups & Gangs Characteristics, Members, associated

Persons and Opponents of a Group or Gang and related Events and Incidents

The Groups and Events/Incidents modules have been developed based upon requirements of the YJB (Youth Justice Board) and feedback from Careworks Youth Offending Team customers.

The Groups and Events/Incidents modules are ‘stand alone’ modules within the system, which enable users to add a new Group (or Gang) and associate clients within CareDirector

Youth with the Group (or Gang). Users are also able to add characteristics in relation to the

Group (or Gang) and record Events and Incidents involving the Group (or Gang).

The user can trigger an automatic alert within Personal Details to inform others of a particular persons association with a Group (or Gang), and also an automatic email notification to a Team Manager to flag the same.

The stand-alone nature of the Groups and Events/Incidents modules enables easy configuration in terms of Profile Based Security, allowing the modules to be restricted at the levels required for prescribed staff. The stand-alone nature also means that users are able to enter all the necessary information in the one place, although linkage ‘behind the scenes’ between the Groups and other modules (such as Personal Details and Offences) will enable users to view relevant information from other areas and vice versa.

The Groups and Events/Incidents modules are located towards the bottom of the

CareDirector Youth tree under the Youth Offending Team menu, to the left-hand side of the screen.

Both are stand alone modules. The opening screens displayed on selecting either of these modules, both work in the same way and are not client specific.

Even if the user has a particular client record open on screen when the Groups or

Events/Incidents module is selected, the initial screen will display a list of all Groups or all

Events/Incidents which exist, regardless of client.

213

Groups Module

When the Groups module is selected on the CareDirector Youth tree, the Groups module will be displayed, with the Group Details tab open, and all Groups/Gangs in existence displayed in a list on screen.

The tabs for Members/Related Persons, Characteristics and Known Opponents will be disabled (and greyed out) until a Group has been created and/or selected from the list.

Group Details

The Group Details tab allows a user to view all existing Groups/Gangs in a list on screen, edit the details of an existing Group/Gang, and also create new Gangs/Groups.

To Create a New Group/Gang

To create a new Group, a name for the group must be entered into the free text mandatory field

Ward

refers to an area the Group is associated with, if relevant. This field displays the same list as in the Ward field in

Personal Details.

The

Cross Border Location

field is also a drop down list field. The YJB intend this field to be used to record where the group originates from outside of the local authority borders. The options that display in this list are locally controlled, so this field can also be used to record varied detail about the Group location:

 Where the Group location originates from outside of the local authority borders

 Where the Group location is within local authority borders, but not Ward specific, for example, where the group area covers more than one ward

 Where the Group location is within local authority borders, but in a smaller area within a ward, for example, the name of a particular neighbourhood or estate

The

Known Website

field enables a user to free text type the address of a group website if there is a known one.

Chapter 19) Panel Setup

The Panel Setup module allows practitioners and administrators to create and maintain lists of Panel Venues, Panel Members, Members’ Availability Information and create actual Panel

Meetings themselves. Venues and Members will be set up initially and then maintained by the Referral Order Co-ordinators. Member availability and setting up the actual panels will be the daily business.

You access the Panel Set up via the menu on the left hand-side:

You are then presented with a screen with four separate tabs:

263

May 2014

The first tab, Venues, allows you to set up, amend and delete venue details for the panels and presents a list of current venues:

264

May 2014

265

May 2014

The third tab, Member Unavailability, allows you to register member’s unavailability details and presents a list of current available members with their unavailability logged:

The fourth tab, Panels, is where you create the individual panel meetings by selecting venues and members and associating them with a Panel Date.

Initially a venue is picked from the dropdown list, a panel date and time selected and a maximum number of attendees established.

 Note:

The number of attendees relates to how many young people the panel will deal with during the duration of the meeting. It could, for example, be used for an Initial Panel Meeting with one young person but it might also deal with a Review and Final Panel for two other young people. In this example the number of attendees would be three and any attempt to add further attendees will be stopped by CareDirector Youth.

The panel is then in the bottom box and a single click will bring it back to the top box and the members can then be selected:

266

If you click on the button this will then complete the setting up of the panel.

 Note:

For the Panel to be completed it needs to be associated with the young person via the Referral Order Details tab within the Programme:

Once this done then the practitioner can associate their Panel Report to the correct Panel:

Chapter 20) Reporting

Essentially there are three direct methods of obtaining information from the application.

The first is within the application itself and this has the advantage of the information being contemporary as it utilises the application’s operational database.

The next two are reliant on the data warehouse which effectively downloads and sorts information from the application database on a daily basis as illustrated below:

Returns

YOT

Data

Reporting

Services

Nightly data extract

Warehouse

Data

Careworks YOT

(Web version)

Data analysis

Analysis

Services

OLAP

Data

Excel

The first of these is a combination of client and ad hoc reports and the YJB statutory

Quarterly and Annual Returns. The second approach is via the OLAP (On line Analytical

Processing) cubes which allow the user to construct reports by interrogating data via an

Excel spreadsheet.

There is a fourth approach and this is where users construct their own reports via Microsoft

Reporting Services. CareWorks, whilst not providing training on Microsoft Reporting

Services, does offer training related to familiarising the user with the structure of the

CareDirector Youth

database.

Within the Application

This session describes how to obtain basic Management Information directly from the operational database.

269

Using the Search Facility

Within the following modules the user is presented with the ability via the search button

to conduct basic searches:



Personal Details



Referrals



Offences



Hearing Details



Outcomes



Programmes



Enforcement



Victims

In addition both the Referrals and Contacts module has a specific search facility which allows the user to interrogate by constructing different search parameters:

Note:

Within Contacts this will be limited to the person displayed in the banner.

Activity:

Search for all Priority 1 referrals related to a particular team.

Activity:

Search for all contacts between certain dates that have meeting type of Supervision

Session (Stat Order) relaying to a particular young person.

Referrals

Within Referrals the user is presented with the following Search screen:

270

May 2014

Examples of the searches that can be conducted are as follows:



Search for referrals related to a particular person.



Search for Referral Reasons such as Request for Appropriate Adult Service.



Search action taken to determine the number of referrals Pending Allocation.



Search for referrals between set dates.



Search for referrals originating from a particular agency, team or person.



Search for all referrals allocated to a particular worker either as a primary or secondary worker.



Search for referrals with a particular Closure Reason.

Obviously these searches can be for a single or multiple values within the search screen.

How the application can be utilised is illustrated by the use of Local Referral Number by a particular YOT. This field allows both alpha and numeric values to be entered. They wanted to distinguish which referrals were allocated to which geographical offices and asked the administrative staff to enter into the Local Referral Number field the name of the office dealing with the referral. As result they are now able to ascertain how many referrals are coming into which offices.

Offences

Within Offences the user is presented with the following search screen:

271

Examples of the searches that can be conducted are as follows:



Search for offences related to a particular person.



Search for particular offences.



Search for all offences between certain dates.



Search for all arrests or charges between certain dates.

Each YOT can determine the Location of offences according to local needs. For example if the YOT had decided to enter a value of Public Place as one of a number of locations, such as

Commercial Premises and Private Dwelling, then all offences committed in a public place could be returned.

Hearing Details

Within Offences the user is presented with the following Search screen:

272

May 2014

Examples of the searches that can be conducted are as follows:



Search for Court Hearings related to a particular person.



Search for all proceedings of a Civil as opposed to Criminal nature.



Search for all hearings of a certain type such as Sentence.



Search for all hearings between certain dates.



Search for all hearings where there was a risk of a Secure Remand.

Using the referral number allows you to return all the hearings related to a particular referral.

Outcomes

Within Outcomes the user is presented with the following screen:

Examples of the searches that can be conducted are as follows:

273



Search for outcomes related to a particular person.



Search for all Pre Court Outcomes.



Search for all outcomes between certain dates.



Search for all main outcomes in relation to a particular young person.

Programmes

Within Programmes the user is presented with the following screen:

Examples of the searches that can be conducted are as follows:



Search for Programmes related to a particular person.



Search for particular programme dates between particular dates.



Search for programmes starting and ending within set dates.



Look for all programmes that have been breached within certain dates.

It is possible to identify any young person who is due to be released from custody between certain dates. However it will not display the Release Date but that can be obtained by viewing individual programmes and added as a column to a spreadsheet.

Enforcement

Within Enforcement the user is presented with the following screen:

274

Examples of the searches that can be conducted are as follows:



Search for Enforcements related to a particular person.



Search for Enforcements related to Attendance or Other.



Search for particular reasons for absences.



Search for all contacts where the reason for absence was recorded as Unacceptable.

By entering a Date of Contact for a particular day and then clicking on search it is possible to

‘eyeball’ all contacts of non attendance and see the date of follow up in accordance with

National Standards.

Victims

Within Victims the user is presented with the following screen:

275

May 2014

Examples of the searches that can be conducted are as follows:



Search for a particular victim.

Note:

You are in effect in the Client Search facility so that the ability to search for particular victim aspects is limited.

Results of Searches

In most of the searches you will be informed of the result:

Clicking on will reveal the result of this search. In our example we have asked to see all Court Outcomes relating to Referral Orders between certain dates:

276

May 2014

Note:

Whilst the banner will display a specific client the results will relate to your query.

In our example here we know there are 27 records but at this stage we are not aware of the names of the young people that make up this sample. In order to identify these young people you need to export the data to Excel. This is achieved by initially highlighting the results of your search by holding down the Ctrl , Caps Lock and A keys:

277

May 2014

You then click on Ctrl and C keys which copies that sample and opens up a blank Excel spreadsheet:

Once you have chosen your cell paste your selection into the spreadsheet:

This will then display the person’s name and the data can be manipulated within Excel.

Additional Information

There are two additional facilities which can assist you in looking for information.

278

May 2014

If you open up Personal Details without a client identified and consequently it is blank and then click on the Risks sub menu as shown it will display all recorded risks:

These can be exported to Excel and you are given the ability to choose the columns you want displayed:

279

May 2014

You then highlight the Available Columns you want displayed and move it across into the

Selected Columns. The selected columns can be moved up and down dependent upon the order you want each field in Excel. In this example we have asked to see Risk Type followed by Client Name and Start and End Dates:

This query can then be exported to Excel:

280

May 2014

Further manipulation, such as sorting, can then be achieved within Excel.

Schools

Within Administration there exists a facility to maintain details of your local schools:

281

May 2014

However it also contains the ability to see all the young people attending that school who are currently on CareDirector Youth. You need to click the appropriate school into the top panel:

Next to the name of the school you click on the magnifying glass icon and this will display a list of those young people who are or have attended the school:

282

These can be sorted by clicking on the column heads and the results printed off:

Client and Ad Hoc Reports & Statutory Returns

This session describes the structure of the

CareDirector Youth

Data Warehouse and introduces the various tools that are used to produce analyses and reports. It should be noted that this course will concentrate on the CareDirector Youth Warehouse structure and the interaction of the reporting tools with the Warehouse and is not designed to address detailed formatting or advanced features of Microsoft Reporting Services.

The Data Warehouse is a reporting database that sits separately from the CareDirector Youth operational database. The Warehouse is updated once per day from the operational system. This ensures that there is no direct performance impact on the live system from the generation of any reports. Also, the fact that the warehouse is not being dynamically updated ensures consistency in reports that are run repeatedly throughout the day.

The operational system database is designed to handle multiple live interactive sessions simultaneously, while still ensuring speed of data input and update. The requirements for a reporting database are different. The speed of data input is less important than the speed of extraction. Also the ease of use of a reporting database is more important, since users interact directly with the database, whereas users of the operational system interact directly with the application.

The above diagram illustrates the main components of the CareDirector Youth architecture, and a description of each component follows:

CareDirector Youth Database

This is the CareDirector Youth operational database which is accessed and updated by the

CareDirector Youth application.

Data Warehouse

This is the reporting database which is updated once a day by an extract from the operational

CareDirector Youth database. The extract program restructures the data that is transferred from

CareDirector Youth. The warehouse contains two types of data – Atomic data brought directly from

CareDirector Youth and Calculated data generated from the atomic data. For example the Client Age

at Date of Referral is calculated data, calculated using the Client Date of Birth, which is atomic data brought into the warehouse during the extract. The Data Warehouse is accessed, for data extraction only, when CareDirector Youth users access the Reports module from within the application. These will include Client and Ad Hoc Reports and the YJB Returns which are provided by CareWorks, as well as Customised Reports that are generated by your own local authority itself.

Accessing the Reports

Note:

You will have to be a user that firstly has the reports showing on your menu and you will need to be added to the domain that has access to the data warehouse server.

Once this is achieved you will need to open up the menu item Reports open you will see a reporting structure similar to the one displayed below:

. If you click this

Standard Functions within Reports

When using reports within

CareDirector Youth

there are standard features that apply to the running of any report.

To create the report you will need to do a single click on the actual report. It is often easy to assume that you are clicking on the right report:

However this is not the final item on the menu tree as shown by the next to ‘Case File History’.

Clicking on this will reveal the report you will need to click on:

Once the report is running there are other standard processes to be understood as illustrated by the report shown below:

In certain reports you will need to know the young person’s Client Number prior to running the report.

In many of the reports you will need to choose values from a drop down to make up your reports:

In addition you may wish to set date parameters:

The offences and offence date will only show when the outcome is delivered:

It is recommended that if this is to be shown in Court that it is exported to a PDF file as this effectively locks the file.

Ad Hoc Reports

Each of these reports has a number of matrixes which allow you to view the same information from a number of perspectives. For example in Client Caseload you can see the same referrals from either a primary worker or a secondary worker perspective. Once you have decided on your filters and parameters then the report can seen from these distinctive differences.

Client CaseLoad

This report consists of 6 matrices each displaying distinct counts of Referral(s) at varying summary levels:

1. Count of distinct Referral(s) by 'Allocated Agency / Role / Worker' & 'Referral Reason'

2. Count of distinct Referral(s) by 'Allocated Agency / Role / Worker' & 'Referral Status'

3. Count of distinct Referral(s) by 'Referred by Agency / Role / Worker' & 'Referral Reason'

4. Count of distinct Referral(s) by 'Referred by Agency / Role / Worker' & 'Referral Status'

5. Count of distinct Referral(s) by 'Secondary Allocation Agency / Role / Worker' & 'Referral

Reason'

Asset Report 1a, 1b and 2

These reports have been developed to allow you to interrogate Assets at a high level by scores, risks or vulnerability and to see which are missing.

They are accessed from the Reports function on the left hand side.

May 2015

Report 1a

This report allows the user to search for particular Assets or other documents, related to particular programmes, particular teams and/or case stages and if they are Assets or Onsets to be able to search for ranges of scores on particular sections or for a range within the overall score.

Note:

If a user wants a particular section to be ignored then they should enter the value of N/A:

This illustration shows a search within quarter 4 of a particular year for all Core Assets with a Substance

Misuse score between 2 and 4:

One of aspects that you have to remember is that if you add additional scores that you wish to search on then CareDirector Youth will only return those that have all the requisite scores and not each individual score.

Report Asset 1b

This report allows you to search for particular Core Assets, Final Warning Assets and Onsets related to particular programmes, particular teams and/or case stages and if there are indications of risk or vulnerability these can be viewed. If the latter are present you can then query whether the associated

Risk Asset or Vulnerability Management Plan is present as a document.

Statutory Returns

These are the reports that are required by the Youth Justice Board on a quarterly and annual basis.

Note:

You will have to be a user that firstly has the reports showing on your menu and you will need to be added to the domain that has access to the data warehouse server.

Once this is achieved you will need to open up the menu item Reports open you will see a reporting structure similar to the one displayed below:

. If you click this

You will then proceed in exactly the same way as previously outlined in the Ad Hoc section.

OLAP Cubes

These cubes allow you to construct ad hoc reports within the reporting constraints of the cubes and to save these reports for further use.

Note:

It is important to point out that a good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel will greatly assist you in using this facility. It is recommended that you should be proficient in Excel and understand in particular Charts and Pivot tables.

The reports are accessed from wherever the two appropriate spreadsheets are held. These can be on your PC or on the server hosting the warehouse. The first of these is the

raise_warehouse_yot

which shows all the available fifty-six cubes and the Configuration tab and can be used for ad hoc reports and to familiarise yourself with the content of the cubes. The second of these is called

raise_warehouse_template

and this is blank worksheet that can be used to construct reports that you wish to use on a regular basis.

How to Build a Report from an OLAP Cube

To build a report in Excel from an OLAP cube, there are two steps.

1. You select the data source.

2. You drag/drop the required fields/dimensions to build the desired Pivot table. Optionally, you can then create a chart.

Select the Data Source

Make sure you do not have an existing Pivot table selected (i.e. click on an empty cell on the sheet) otherwise you will edit the existing pivot table, rather than create a new one:

From the Main Menu in Excel you select Data -> Pivot Table and PivotChart Report:

304

May 2015

This will reveal the following:

Click on the ‘External data source’ option, and then click Next:

Click on Get Data:

305

May 2015

Note:

An alternative route to this is to select Data -> Import External Data -> New Database Query

…. Either route will work fine.

You click on the OLAP cubes tab:

Note:

As you build your queries it will be the case that your desired data source might appear in the list, select it and proceed as shown later.

To create a new data source, select New Data Source and click on OK and you will be presented with the dialog box as shown:

Enter the name of the cube you want to connect to (you can give it any descriptive name you like here):

306

May 2015

Make sure you select version 8.0 of the OLAP provider. Click on Connect:

On this screen you enter the name of your server:

307

May 2015

There is no need to enter userID/password. Authentication is done automatically based on your

Windows logon. Click on Next.

308

May 2015

From the list of warehouses available (there may be only 1) select the YotWarehouse, and click on

‘Finish’. This will return you to the previous screen.

Now you can select from the drop-down which cube you want to connect to, for example the client cube is cClient:

Click OK and now this connection will be available in your list of OLAP Cube Connections. As pointed out in the note earlier next time you want to connect to this cube, you will go straight from here:

309

May 2015

You click on OK will bring back to this screen:

You will see a message telling you the data has been stored and clicking on ‘Next’ brings you to the next screen:

Decide where you want to position the table and then click on ‘Finish’. This will bring you back to the worksheet:

310

May 2015

Building a Pivot Table

Now you are ready to start to build a Pivot table. You will be presented with a layout in Excel similar to that shown above. You simply drag the items from the Pivot Table Field List onto the appropriate area of the Pivot table.

The items are either

dimensions

facts

Dimension tables contain reasonably static lists of data, which usually correspond to reference data used in the application. Reference data appears as a drop-down list in the CareDirector Youth application, such as “Ethnicity’ and “Reason for Referral’.

Fact tables record specific dynamic data about individual cases or clients. They typically consist of fields containing actual data and fields which reference back to dimension tables. For example the main client table consists of the Client Number, Name Fields, Address Fields etc., and also fields that link back to all the dimension tables that describe various attributes of the client such as Age, Ethnicity,

Nationality, Gender etc. Typically a fact item will be a count.

There are 4 areas in the

Pivot table

of note.

1. Row Fields

This is the area where you drop fields from the list if you want to have one row per value of the dimension. For example if you want to have a table with number of clients, broken down by ethnicity, with one row per ethnicity value, drop the ethnicity dimension here:

311

May 2015

2. Column Fields

This is the area where you drop fields from the list if you want to have one column per value of the dimension. For example if you want to have a table with number of clients, broken down by

Gender, with one column for Male, one column for Female drop the Gender dimension here:

3. Page Fields

This is the area where you drop any dimensions that you want to filter your data on. For example if you only want to include in your report clients who are current clients, drop the

Current Client dimension here, then select the value ‘1’ from the dimension:

312

May 2015

Note:

You will often see the values of True and False which in a layperson’s terms mean Yes and

No. In addition you may see the numbers 0, 1 and -1 which can be translated as No, Yes and Not

Applicable respectively. In the example above it means you are looking for current clients.

Data Items

This is where you place the actual fact(s) you want to view in your report. In many cases the cube will only contain one fact, which is a count, and this is the one you will have to use. In some cases the cube contains multiple facts, and you can choose one or more of these facts.

The facts are identified in the field list by a symbol with

01/10

In this example after you have dragged and dropped the dimension and data items onto the sheet to produce a basic Client Table it will look like this:

313

May 2015

Verifying Data by Drilldown

You may look at the results of your query and want to check particular items. To do this you highlight the particular cell on the spreadsheet:

Then hold down the

Control, Shift and D

Keys. This will take you to the detail of the entries within a particular cell:

The drilldown contains a large amount of data so you may need to scroll to the left and ultimately select the columns you need. For example the names of the young persons who make up the count in the cell:

Creating a Chart from the Data

To produce a chart from this data, you click on the small chart icon, or if not visible, right-click anywhere within the Pivot table, and select Pivot Chart:

This will produce a new sheet with the chart located in it:

314

May 2015

To move the chart back to the same sheet as the Pivot table, you need to right-click on the chart and select location:

Select “As object in” and select the required sheet from the drop-down List:

315

May 2015

By default, the chart will contain dropdowns to alter selection, similar to those on the Pivot table itself.

You can manipulate the chart either by using these, or by using the ones on the Pivot table. To remove them from the chart, right-click on one of the drop-downs and select “Hide PivotChart Field Buttons’:

The chart is a standard Excel chart, and so the normal operations exist to change the chart type, layout etc.

Note:

When a Pivot chart is refreshed, some formatting options on a chart may be lost, since Excel recreates the chart on refresh. To overcome this, you can record a macro that adjusts the formatting etc, and re-run this macro after refresh.

Adding Drill-through Functionality to Reports

In order for the drill-through functionality to function it requires a VBA macro to be part of the Excel workbook. There are 2 methods to achieve this:

1. To create your spreadsheet in a workbook that already has the macro.

2. To copy the macro from an existing workbook and paste into the new one.

To use an existing workbook, use the

yot_warehouse_template.xls

document, which is in the

careworks\yotwarehouse\reports

directory on your server or on your PC. This is an empty

316

May 2015

workbook which already contains the drill-through macro. The workbook contains a sheet called

config

On this sheet there is a cell for entering the server name, and a Refresh button. This is used for modifying existing Pivot tables/charts to point them to a new server. This is not required when you create your own reports, but it is necessary to customise reports which were created against a different server originally, for example a spreadsheet from CareWorks, or from a different YOT.

If you have already created a workbook, and need to copy the macro, do the following:

1. Open the yotwarehouse.xls spreadsheet. From the main menu, you select tools->macro-

>visual basic editor.

2. In the VB screen, on the left hand side, open the ‘Modules’ folder, and double-click Module 1.

317

May 2015

3. In the Main Menu, you will now see the code for the macros.

Find the section beginning with

Sub Drillthrough()

And ending with

End Sub

Copy this entire section.

To paste this into an existing spreadsheet, you need to do the following:

318

May 2015

i Locate the target spreadsheet project on the left tree in VBA – it will be at the top level of the tree, as VBAProject( MySheet.xls). ii Open this project and right-click on the Microsoft Excel Objects folder. Select Insert-

>Module: iii This will create a new module called Module1. Simply paste the code into the main Window.

Close the Window, and return to Excel. iv To assign a hot key to a macro (e.g. CTL-ALT-D) select Tools->Macro->Macros from the Main

Menu in Excel. In the Window that pops up, find the macro you are interested in:

319

May 2015

Note:

Be careful, if you have multiple workbooks open, you will see the macros from all workbooks listed here, make sure that you select the correct one. Macros from other workbooks will have the workbook name in front of them. v Click on Options to enter the Shortcut key: vi You simply enter the letter you want, Excel will automatically decide whether you need to add CTL and/or SHIFT, depending on whether other combinations are already used or not.

Click OK.

Chapter 21) Youth Justice: Scaled Approach

This session describes how the CareWorks application incorporates the Scaled Approach and the introduction of the Youth Rehabilitation Order (YRO).

At the end of this session delegates will be familiar with:

 Recording a Pre-Sentence Report (PSR) proposal of a YRO with related requirements

 Recording an Outcome of a YRO with related requirements

 Maintaining a YRO Programme with related requirements and interventions

 Recording Contacts that are associated with a YRO and certain requirements

 Using the Scaled Approach module to automatically assess and manually over-ride

Intervention levels

 Having an overview of the calculations performed ‘behind the scenes’ to generate Levels of

Intervention

The Core Asset completed for the PSR should be completed as usual, and a case stage of PSR recorded in the Case Stage tab, as shown below:



Note: Where there are multiple offences with the same gravity score, the offence with a scaled approach intervention level is the primary index offence in the Asset document.

321

May 2015

The PSR Report document is also completed as normal, within the Assessments and Documentation module of the relevant client record.

The PSR should still be associated to the relevant sentence hearing upon creation, and the dates pertaining to the PSR (Requested, End, Sent and Due) should also be entered as usual, and as shown below:

Upon completion of the PSR Report, the

Proposal tab

is used to record the suitable YRO proposal, which composes of the proposed YRO type, and also the proposed related requirements.

322

May 2015

The

Proposal

drop down list contains the different YRO types of YRO, YRO - Intensive Fostering and

YRO - ISS:

The

Duration

is entered as usual.

The

Requirements

section of the screen remains disabled until one of the YRO types have been selected within the Proposal field. The Requirements tick boxes then becomes enabled for use.

All 16 potential requirements are listed in the requirements section of the proposal screen, viewable by using the scroll arrows to the right hand side:

Multiple requirements can be selected by ticking the corresponding check boxes. Potential requirements are:

 Activity

 Attendance Centre

 Curfew

 Drug Testing

 Drug Treatment

 Education

 Electronic Monitoring

 Exclusion

 Intoxicating Substance Treatment

 Local Authority Residence



Note: Reparation does not feature as a potential

Requirement in its own right.

YJB have confirmed that where

Reparation

is proposed for or imposed upon the young person, it should be included as part of an

Activity

requirement.

323

May 2015

 Mental Health Treatment

 Programme

 Prohibited Activity

 Residence

 Supervision

 Unpaid Work

Clicking the button then stores the proposal in the list and disables the Requirements check boxes. As usual, the first proposal entered is classed (and recorded) as the main outcome.

Subsequent proposals can be recorded if required/relevant.

The type of proposal is displayed in the grid listing, and the related requirements can be viewed by single clicking to highlight the proposal in the grid listing. The requirements selected for the proposal are then displayed as ticked in the top portion of the proposal screen.

YRO Outcomes

Recording the Outcome and Requirements

Once an YRO sentence has been passed at court, the sentence hearing is recorded as usual.

The Court

Outcome Type

is selected as usual, along with the relevant hearing from the drop down list.

The

TICs

(Taken into Consideration),

Duration

and

Comments

are entered as usual, and the

Main

Outcome

and related

Offences

check boxes ticked:

324

May 2015

The three YRO types are listed in the

Outcome

drop down list:

Once all the information is entered and the button is clicked, a confirmation message displays as shown here.

On clicking the button, the user is redirected automatically to the

Outcomes

Requirements/Conditions

tab as shown below:

325

May 2015

The

From Date

automatically defaults to the Start Date of the YRO, according to the date of the

Outcome entered. The

To Date

defaults to the End Date of the YRO, according to an automatic calculation performed using the Outcome Date and Duration entered. These dates can be manually over-written to the dates that are relevant to the particular requirement being recorded. The

Duration

is manually entered also, and

Comments

relating to that requirement can also be added via free text.

As a type of YRO has been entered as the Outcome, the

Condition/Requirement

drop down list displays all those Requirements that are relevant to YROs (the same list displayed in the PSR

Proposal screen):

326

May 2015

Once the

Requirement

information has been entered, clicking saves the Requirement into the grid listing beneath, and returns the screen to the default setting (blanked fields, with the exception of the From and To Dates which return to the YRO Start and End Dates), ready for the next requirement to be recorded as relevant and added to the grid listing:

All information recorded against the requirement (including the comments) can be viewed in further grid columns by scrolling to the right hand side of the grid listing, or by single clicking the requirement in the grid listing to view the details in the top portion of the screen, where information can be edited if required and saved using the button.

Upon selecting the YRO outcome in the Outcome tab, the system runs a validation to check whether the minimum requirements have been recorded for the corresponding type of YRO. Upon clicking

the user is automatically redirected to the Requirements/Conditions tab/screen.

Proposals tab within the Outcomes module

The YRO proposal automatically displays within the

Proposals

tab in the YRO Outcome, as is the case with other Outcomes and their corresponding proposals.

327

May 2015

In addition to the description of the Outcome proposed and the recommended duration, the

Requirements

proposed in relation to the YRO are also displayed within this screen, to compare against the actual Outcome and Requirements imposed by the courts.

YRO Programmes

Recording the Programme

Once an YRO Outcome has been recorded against the client record, a

Programme

of the same type is automatically created against the client record also:

Upon viewing the automatically generated Programme, some details are already entered by default, as they are ‘pulled through’ from entries made within the Outcomes module:

328

May 2015

The user must complete the Programme details by ensuring the

Location

Duration

and

Agreed Date

are entered (automatically completing the

End Date

field) and click the button to save the details.

329

May 2015

The

Responsible Officer

fields default to the logged in user who recorded the outcome, and require manual amendment to reflect the true worker responsible for the young person’s order/programme.

Once the Programme has been updated, a confirmation message displays as shown

Upon entering the

Intervention/Requirements

tab within the Programme, some details are ‘pulled through’ automatically:

On clicking the button, the user is presented once again with the updated Programme Details screen.

330

May 2015

As the Programme is of an YRO type, the screen alters accordingly, to display a

Requirements

field (rather than an Intervention drop down list as with other

Programme Types), which lists all the potential Requirements relevant to YROs:

The

Start Date

and

End Date

for the requirement are entered manually.

Free text

Comments

relating to the requirement can also be recorded.

The worker responsible for this particular requirement is recorded in the

Associated

Worker

drop down list fields.

331

May 2015

Clicking the button then saves the Requirement to the grid listing beneath, and blanks the Intervention Detail and Associated Worker fields, ready for the next

Requirement to be recorded as required.

As the Programme is of an YRO type, alterations to the screen also incorporates a

Requirement End

section and a

Not Completed

section in relation that relate to each individual requirement recorded.

YRO Contacts

Recording Completion of Requirements and the YRO

As Requirements come to an end, for whatever reason, this must be recorded.

332

May 2015

As each Requirement ends, a responsible worker must re-visit the Programme

Interventions/Requirements

tab within the YRO programme, and select the relevant

Requirement

from the grid listing by single clicking, as shown above.

The

Start Date

and the

End Date

of the Requirement should be updated if necessary to reflect the actual dates that the requirement started and finished.

If the requirement was

Completed

the worker must indicate whether the young person completed successfully or was non-compliant.

If the requirement was

Not Completed

, ticking the corresponding check box then enables the Not

Completed section of the screen. The worker must select the most relevant reason for the requirement not being completed:

Clicking the requirement ends.

button then saves the changes made. This process is to be carried out as each

333

May 2015

Breaches

to the YRO are recorded as per breaches for other orders and use of the Programmes module Breaches tab is the same.

When the YRO programme itself comes to an end, a responsible worker must re-visit the Programme

Details screen once all the requirements end details are recorded, to record the Programme closure details.

The Programme

Dates

should be amended if required to reflect the true dates.

Accommodation

Opinions

must be recorded and the

Concluded

Completed Successfully

check box ticked, as is the case with other programme types.

Recording YRO Contacts

On entering a

Contact Details

screen for the young person, any YRO programme against the young person’s record is displayed in the list of

Linked Programmes

334

May 2015

The

Requirements

recorded against the YRO are also displayed beneath. The list is disabled by default, and becomes enabled once the YRO Linked Programme has been ticked.

Multiple requirements can be viewed by using the scroll arrows to the right hand side.

The Contact Type determines if the contact counts towards the linked programme as either Counts

Towards Programme, or Does Not Count Towards Programme.

Adding Notes to a Contact Record

Notes added to a record are shown in the Notes free text field. The Notes button displays the number of notes added to a record. Click it to display the full notes added to a contact record.

Notes button

Searching for Contact Types

In the

Contacts Grid Listing

screen, filters have been added at the top of the screen, so that once a

Programme type of YRO has been selected, any particular

Requirement

recorded against the YRO can be selected to filter all contacts linked to that particular Requirement:

335

May 2015

All other

Contacts

and

Enforcement

functionality operates in the same way for YROs as for other orders and programme types.

If a client attended the scheduled contact, it is marked with a green check , if they did not attend, it is marked with a red cross .

Enforcement Records for Client’s Missing Contacts

If a client misses a contact meeting and a contact record has been created with:



An Actual date



Contact Type of Counts Towards Programme



A linked Programme



And the Client Attended check box is NOT ticked

The system will generate a warning that a contact meeting has been missed and automatically navigates to an enforcement record.

Recording a Breach offence against a client

The enforcement record can be competed with the Enforcement Action of Breach.

Raise records an offence of Breach against the most recent referral which contains the Programme linked to the contact. The offence is the breach of a statutory order, of breach of order of licence conditions.

The Offence On Date is the date of the missed contact linked to the Enforcement record.

Printing All Contacts

You can selct all contact notes to be printed as a readable report.

336

May 2015

To print all contacts as a single report:

1. Click the Select All check box at the bottom of the Contacts screen.

2. Click Print.

3. A dialog window offers formatting options for the report.

4. Click OK.

5. A report is displayed with selected contacts in chronological order.

A user can select or deselect contacts to create a chronological report.

Assessing Intervention Levels

The

Core Asset

is completed for the young person and

Case Staged

appropriately as normal. If ‘Yes’ has been answered to any of the questions in the risk section, then a

Risk of Serious Harm

Asset

(ROSH) is also completed for the young person.

To assess the Scaled Approach level of intervention required for the young person, the worker must access the

Scaled Approach

module towards the bottom of the Youth Offending menu.

Upon entry to the screen, a list of the young person’s

Core Assets and ROSHs (if there are any) is displayed, as below:

337

May 2015

The

Document Type

and

Case Stages

for Core Assets are displayed in the grid listing.

The

Score

column displays the corresponding scores for the Core Asset

Static

Factors

Dynamic Factors

, and the

Total

of the two scores. (See section 1.6 for further detail on calculations relating to Static and Dynamic Factors).

The

LoR

column displays the

Likelihood of Reoffending

according to the Core Asset

Total score (Static plus Dynamic scores) and for ROSHs, displays the

Likelihood of

Reoffending

according to the level of risk indicated within the ROSH itself.

Any of the documents listed in the top half of the screen can be viewed in full from this screen by double clicking on the record in the listing.

The buttons along the bottom of the screen remain disabled until at least one document has been selected.

The worker must first tick the relevant Core

Asset Case Stage, and then the relevant

ROSH if there is one, as below. If a ROSH is selected first, a message displays as shown opposite:

338

May 2015

On clicking the button, an

Intervention Level

is calculated and recorded in the grid listing, and a confirmation message displays as shown:

The ROSH and/or Core Asset details that produced the Intervention Level are summarised in the lower grid listing, displaying the ROSH risk level, Core Asset Static, Dynamic and Total scores and related LoR.

The

Date Completed

indicates when the Intervention Level was calculated and recorded, and the

Completed By

column indicates the user who recorded it within the Scaled Approach screen.

The

Current Intervention Level

column displays the level calculated. (See section 1.6 for further details on intervention level calculations). In the above example, the

Intervention Level calculated is

Intensive

339

May 2015

Over-riding Intervention Levels

It is possible to manually over-ride the intervention level that has been automatically calculated according to YJB specifications.



Note: By default, the button at the bottom of the Scaled Approach screen is disabled in the

Scaled Approach Default

Module Profile. An additional

Module Profile named

Scaled Approach Override

is also shipped. Any users with membership to this Module Profile have access to an enabled button.

A local decision would need to be taken as to which users should be allowed access to this function. (Please see

Profile Based Security

User Manual for details on how to end a user’s membership to one

Module Profile

and add their membership to another).

If the automatically calculated Intervention Level is not suitable, the relevant record is highlighted in the grid listing by single clicking (as below):

340

May 2015

The button can then be clicked, and an over-ride screen is presented:

341

May 2015

The user must record the

Date

the over-ride is taking place, the new

Intervention Level

name

of the user overriding (the user name is recorded in the audit trail) and free text

reason

for it.



Note: The original YJB specification enabled a manual over-ride by one level only (i.e. from Intensive to Enhanced only, but not Standard). This decision was later revisited and altered, so that any level of intervention can be chosen when manually over-riding (as in the example below):

Clicking the shown below:

button saves the over-ride action and updates the grid listing as

342

May 2015

The

Current Intervention Level

updates to the new level selected during the manual over-ride.

Upon scrolling to the right hand side of the grid listing, audit information is displayed relating to the over-ride:

The

originally calculated level

is recorded, the

name

and

date

entered at over-ride, and also the

actual date

the over-ride was performed in the system, and the

username

of the person logged on to perform it.

Multiple manual over-rides can be performed. The audit information displayed in the grid listing will always summarise the originally calculated level and the most recent manual over-ride.

343

May 2015

By single clicking to highlight the Intervention Level record in the grid listing and clicking the button at the bottom of the screen, a full audit is presented which displays the details of all manual over-rides performed to that Intervention Level record:

Again, upon scrolling to the right hand side of the listing, further details can be viewed relating to the

dates

and

names

entered at over-ride, and the

actual dates

the over-rides were performed within the system along with the

usernames

of the workers logged in to perform the over-rides:

344

May 2015

Clicking the module screen behind.

button closes the audit screen, and returns to the Scaled Approach

Calculations for Intervention Levels

As specified by the YJB, the CareWorks system automatically generates Intervention Levels by calculating Static Factor Scores, Dynamic Factor Scores, and adding them together for a Total score, in relation to Core Assets. These are displayed within the Scaled Approach module grid listing:

The total score for the selected Core Asset determines the

Likelihood of Reoffending

(LoR) automatically generated in the next column.

For ROSHs, the CareWorks system recognises the level of Risk recorded within the document itself, and this is automatically displayed in the LoR column, as shown above.

If a Core Asset and a ROSH are selected to calculate an Intervention Level, the highest LoR of the two will determine the level of intervention. If a Core Asset alone is selected to calculate a Level of

Intervention, the LoR of that Asset alone will determine the Level of Intervention. This is explained in more detail in the sections below.
