A face to face contact between a PATIENT subject to a MENTAL HEALTH CARE SPELL and a Local Authority Social Services Social Worker. The Social Worker may be a MENTAL HEALTH CARE TEAM MEMBER. When the contact involves the presence of more than one Social Worker at the same time, then it is still considered as a single occurrence of a face to face contact.

In the case of contact arising due to a SOCIAL SERVICES STATUTORY ASSESSMENT then both the FACE TO FACE CONTACT SOCIAL WORKER and the SOCIAL SERVICES STATUTORY ASSESSMENT will be recorded.

When the Social Worker is also the allocated Care Programme Approach care coordinator for the PATIENT then a FACE TO FACE CONTACT CPA CARE COORDINATOR should also be recorded.
