PLEASE NOTE: This is not ACC endorsed training - it is a senior clinician's take.
It offers guidance in how to
tackle the task of providing these Specialist Cover Assessments (referred to as SCA), once you are an approved
assessor.
This webinar addresses the changes coming soon on what will be the new Assessment process under
ACC for sexual abuse claims, changing over as of December 1, 2024. The term Supported Assessments
is changing to Specialist Cover Assessment (SCA). These assessments will only be required for clients
with complex needs, as well as where a diagnosis and treatment recommendations for complex needs
therapy are indicated (known as Pathway B).
Presented by Diane Clare, an experienced ACC provider since the 1990s and who
has been providing Supported Assessments since the start of the Sensitive Claims
service, this webinar has retained the practical focus that has been invaluable to
clinicians who have previously attended and it considers the clinical tasks that are
still required along with the issues arising of additional services that may be
offered under ACC.
This workshop offers guidance in how to tackle the task of providing these Assessments, once you are an
approved assessor and is only held once per annum.
In addition to the above update on the process, topics covered include:
1. What/why/who: What is this Specialist Cover Assessment about under ACC (previously named
Supported Assessment), why are they needed, and who delivers them?
2. ABCD: Preparing and things to check before you begin: Approvals, Booking in, Core information,
documents you will need.
3. The 4Rs in Mapping the journey - rapport, roles, risks, requirements.
4. The 3 Fs to the Finish line: Follow up session, formulation and feedback.
5. Handling hiccups e.g. delay of medical notes, remote working, accuracy checking.
6. Conclusions and issues arising.
