Origin
Clients
For the purposes of recording a ‘client’ record in the Data Exchange, a client is defined as:
An individual who receives a service as part of a funded activity that is expected to lead to a measureable outcome.
Support Person
At times, there may be other people present at a service who do not meet the definition of a client. This could include carers of clients, family members or children who attend to support the client. The support person is not expected to achieve a direct outcome through this service interaction and is not counted as a client.
There are no requirements to record the details of support people in the Data Exchange, however if an organisation wants, they can create an individual record for these people and record them as support people at the session level.
Unidentified Clients
Organisations are strongly encouraged to create individual client records for as many of their clients as possible. If it is impractical to collect information about individual participants, for example in community outreach activities where many members of the general public may participate, the aggregate number of unidentified clients is recorded.
