Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. From the clinical reports, treatment history and the proposed treatment or support plan, extract into a table the diagnosis, the clinician who made it, the date, the link the clinician draws to the alleged conduct, and the treatment, supervision and support proposed, each cited to its report. The tool writes no part of the application, the submissions or any clinical material. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |
Checklist
- Check each diagnosis is attributed to the clinician who made it and dated.
- Confirm the treatment plan has been agreed by the treating clinician and the client.
- Confirm the tool has not paraphrased any clinical opinion into the lawyer’s draft.
