Comments
This metadata item is used in calculation of measures of periods of support and duration of assistance.
Guide for use:
Due to the considerable variation in the types of services provided in the community services sector, it is not possible at this stage to define in generic terms what will constitute commencement of a service episode. Individual collections should however define what constitutes commencement for their own purposes. For example, it may be at contact stage in some instances or in others when a case plan is formulated.
Collection methods:
Date assistance commenced must be related to a particular service episode.
For each separate service episode a separate episode start date should be recorded.
