Social Worker Review of DST

Once the MDT meeting has finished the electronic DST is completed by the Lead Co-ordinator and is then sent to the Local Authority for agreement. The Lead CHC Co-ordinator selects the Social Worker that should review the DST which triggers an email to be sent with a link:

The Social Worker will click on the “click here” link on the email and that will call a read-only view of the completed DST. This will show all the comments recorded for every field on the DST.

At the bottom of the page the Social Worker must record their response (agree or disagree), enter their name in the “Signature” field and add comments (even if it’s “no comments”). The response can then be submitted by clicking on the “Submit” button:

Once submitted a “Thank you” message will appear acknowledging that you have submitted your response.
