Process of Creating an Electronic EISA

Important – before you start

The create function is only available to the EISA team. The

former EISA systems allowed any professional to create

children in the system. With the spelling of names being it

seems so arbitrary this meant that the same children were

being ‘created’ in the CASS system multiple times. There

should only be ONE record for a child. Before you press

create you must thoroughly check the EISA data base and

also the CASS database for any record of the child you want

to create. All our data pulls from CASS system. I always have

CASS open and use it constantly to check records before I

create children, relatives and professionals. Check by name

and then in a separate search check by birth date. If you

mistakenly create a child that you find already exists then the

RICS or IT are able to merge the two profiles.

Process

To begin –

1. If you have a paper/electronic copy of the EISA you will

need to have that with you for the personal details

2. If it is a de-escalation from CIN it is helpful to have it to

view but not essential as the personal details of the

children will pull through to the EISA

Page 2: Guidance for creating an electronic EISA...EISA in this box. 3. If a CIN plan is the assessment being used then write the name of the LP for the EISA in this box The reason we do this

3. If it is a CSC recommendation to go to EISA then again

it is helpful to have it to view but not essential as the

personal details of the children will pull through from

CASS to the EISA system

To begin click on

2. – Leave in Pending till the end of EISA process

3.

Once you press person search you will be taken to a page where you can

enter the child’s details. I prefer to search by DOB as spelling of names

can be arbitrary and inaccurately recorded on either the CASS system or

the EISA form. If you can see your child on the list that comes up then

press . If the details are incorrect (eg. Address) this can be

fixed at a later date.

If you do not see the child you are looking for then go and home CASS

and do a proper search by birth date

If you are certain there is no previous record of the is child in the CASS

system then go back to the EISA system and press

You will be taken to a screen where you are required to enter the

personal details of the child:

Title – DO NOT USE – leave blank

Forename 1 – First Name

5. Assessment Type:

You have three choices for this:

CIN PLAN – Select this if the child is being de-escalated from Tier 4 to Tier 3

CSC – Select this if there has been an assessment done by the CAT team in the

last three months

EISA – Select this if a professional has use the EISA assessment form

** If you select the CSC or CIN options you will need to check if the LP requires

a copy of either so they can move forward with their first TAC meeting

After you have completed this page press in the top right hand

corner. The page will then open up and you will see more areas to input data

6A. Professional Involvement

IMPORTANT – the same rules apply for creating a Lead Professional – check

the CASS database for the LP first. Sometimes professional’s names will

appear with a ‘personal’ address and even birth date details also. This is

because for whatever reason that professional has had dealings with Children’s

Social Care on a personal level. Only select the professional if they have a

‘work address’ and no birth date information.

Adding a Lead Professional

Click on

Click on

Fill out Search boxes. Use the formal version of the professional’s name. For

example if the name is Cath check if their full name is Catherine.

Once you have entered the name of the person click on

If nothing comes up you will need to create the Lead professional in the CASS

system.

If you see the professional you want below then press select.

Sometimes more than one option will appear. Always choose a ‘4 digit’ Person

Ref option over a ‘6 digit option’ as when professionals do the EISA training

and IT sets them up to access the system they usually use the 4 digit numbers.

Sometimes there will be a ‘4 digit’ number profile with no select button next to

it. On the right hand side of this click on the Edit button. Then follow the

process for adding an address:

Click on

To search for an address you need to have the postcode of the professionals

Single Assessment

Click on the big blue button

This part of the EISA is a shared document with Children’s Social Care. They are

able to access it and read it. This is the only part of the EISA system that is

shared. CSC can’t access TAC minutes or any other information other than this

form.

CSC also use this same form to record their own assessments and for that

reason some of the questions asked do not pertain to Tier 3.

This form always needs to be filled in.

If you have been sent an EISA assessment on paper or an electronic copy of

one you will need to fill this form in. Also if the assessment being used for the

EISA is a CIN plan or a CSC Assessment you will need to fill this form in. The

only time you don’t fill this form in is when the LP is accessing the EISA system

themselves. But even then you will need to check over it.

99 % of the time you will choose the first option.

1. If an EISA assessment has been done – write the name of person who

EISA in this box.

3. If a CIN plan is the assessment being used then write the name of the LP

The reason we do this is because if CSC are accessing this document it’s

because they will want to know who is running the EISA so they can speak with

them. If you put the name of the social worker from the CAT team down in the

box this will not be helpful because there role with it is finished.

Put enough information in this box so this box so that if CSC are accessing it

Details of Children

This first box will have the target child listed and should contain all siblings of

that target child who are under the age of 18. The system will automatically

group siblings together who are listed on CASS at the same address. If more

than one child is being assessed then you need to put a tick in the check box

next to their name. If the child is not listed for you to choose then you will

need to add them as a relative to the target child

Adding a sibling to the EISA assessment

Click on the Target Child’s actual name: example John Smith

This will take you to a page titled Maintain Person.

Click on the tab titled ‘Relationship details’

This will show you the list of people that are related to this child.

Check the list of relatives first to see if the sibling you want is listed. If the

sibling is listed but is under a different address then you will need to update

the address. If the sibling is not listed then you will need to create the sibling.

Process for creating a sibling or relative

On the right hand side of the page there is a button titled

This will take you to a page where you will enter in the relative’s details.

This is the type of relationship. How is this person related

to the child from the child’s perspective.

You will need to search the CASS database separately again for the

named person. Be very careful that you check birth date details.

After you have checked CASS you can return to the maintain

person screen and press the button. You will not

be able to enter a name in the greyed out ‘Name’ box.

You can check that you have attached it properly by going out of documents and then come back in. Go back to the EISA now for final steps:

1. If the EISA is being completed by a professional on line then you need to change the Status from ‘Pending’ to ‘Active’. Apply Changes and then change it back to ‘Pending’.

The reason that I change the status from Pending to active and back to Pending is that when you activate an EISA the ‘start’ date is recorded on the system. I change it back to ‘pending’ because the professional can only write in the EISA if it is in ‘pending’. You need to run a report monthly to check on all EISA’s that you have in ‘pending’ and chase the professional to complete the EISA

2. If the EISA has been completed by you because you have either a copy of the EISA, a copy of the CSC assessment or a copy of the CIN Plan then change the status from ‘Pending to Active’ and leave it ‘Active’.

YOU ARE DONE – GOOD JOB – YOU MADE IT!!!
