This is a horrible time and reason to use the CORE Email list for the first real time. This is to draw your attention to a joint statement from CST and CIMS and some options to replace use of paper CORE measures in face to face work with online measure completion for practitioners forced to move to online working.
- Fillable PDF forms: probably the easiest option but with confidentiality issues you must discuss with clients.
- Other options: includes Google forms option: less easy to set up, probably better confidentiality, and other options probably only feasible for large services.
These have been through as much alpha testing as I and Frank Margison could manage over the last week but there will be teething problems with them we’re sure. So do please come back to me with any feedback. I will try to respond as best I can.
While so many of us are in social distancing lockdown and as I probably improve these options and the help in those documents, I will send a weekly Email message if there enough changes. When (whenever!) we emerge from these times I will try to send a message monthly, having now inaugurated the list meaningfully.
Very best wishes and luck to everyone and your clients, friends and families,
Chris (cst@psyctc.org)
