Ensuring Children are Linked to a Presenting Unit
If you are providing a direct service to a child or young person it is important to check that they are properly linked to a Presenting Unit, unless the person is genuinely presenting alone. If children are not properly linked with a Presenting Unit then the child will be reported as presenting alone and this impacts the accuracy of data on families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
Guidance on how to add children to an existing presenting unit in CIMS is provided in the “SHS: Linking Children to a Presenting Unit” quick reference guide available from the Admin/Documents page in CIMS. Further information relating to the Presenting Unit can be found in the SHS Collection Manual on pages 9-10 and 32-34.
