Once a digital CYP Checklist has been submitted, it appears in the “back office” as a new case.
As part of the Digital CHC back-office product there is a standard CYP Checklist to Joint Assessment Workflow process.
As a case progresses, according to the outcome recorded the relevant Workflow process and steps within it will be triggered.
Click on the “Workflow” option on the left-hand side of the screen. This will display a list of cases that you have access to according to their current stage:
You can click on the briefcase icon and this will drill you down into full case details:

Once you have clicked on the “CYP to Joint Assessment” workflow you drill down into the process. The first step is “Responsible Commissioner Checks”.

If necessary, you can enter or amend the NHS number here (if the NHS number is missing or if an incorrect number was recorded on the digital Referral).
