Definition
Data about the reason clients sought assistance is collected to inform service planning to better respond to presenting needs. The optional categories for describing the reason for seeking assistance are standardised to reflect the SCORE outcome domains that cover the range of funded activities captured as part of the Data Exchange Framework. For each client, data is recorded about the main reason for seeking assistance and, if relevant, a secondary reason for seeking assistance. Reasons for seeking assistance are recorded at the case level, to allow organisations to reflect that clients go to different activities to address different needs.
