Quality assurance processes for ASP referrals that do not proceed to ASP enquiry
Useful for: Managers who decide whether or not ASP referrals should proceed to ASP inquiry (in those partnerships where local procedures do not state that all ASP referrals should progress to an ASP inquiry)
This guidance supports consistent and transparent decision-making in the ‘conversion rate’ from ASP referral to ASP inquiry. It considers:
- What the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007 and Code of Practice state
- Initial information-gathering activity
- Quality assurance processes for ASP referrals that do not proceed to ASP inquiry
