Assessment Allegations Temp

In Casebook, perpetrators and victims are added to an assessment through the assessment's allegations. Therefore, to add more victims or perps, you will need to add or edit the assessment's allegations. 

Substantiating/Unsubstantiating Allegations

The Allegations section of the Assessment page is found on the Allegations, Mandated Reasons, and Intake Narrative card. This section lists each of the allegations of abuse or neglect that a person has allegedly perpetrated against the focus child in a succinct statement.  

Allegation Sub-Types

In Casebook, there are three Allegation Sub-Types:

• 1. physical abuse

  2. sexual abuse

  3. neglect

  4. Human/Sexual Trafficking

When you select one of these sub-types and substantiate the allegation an additional box of Maltreatment subtypes appears. This pop up box includes more specific information about the allegation type (physical abuse is shown below).  You need to select which types of abuse or neglect a victim has experienced and then click ‘Save.’

At least one maltreatment subtype must be selected. If no subtype is selected, a red pill error message will display at the top of the page and an inline error message will display at the top of the maltreatment popup box.

Adding and Editing Allegations

In some instances, you will need to add or edit an allegation on an assessment after it has come over from Intake because you discovered additional allegations during your investigation or you need to add additional perpetrators or victims to an assessment. Adding or editing allegations can only be done before the assessment has been submitted.

Allegations that come over from Intake cannot be deleted.
