Client Records
The Client Record system was developed by Communities and Local Government (CLG).
It records standard information about clients starting to receive services through the Supporting People programme in England. The data collection, processing and statistical analysis is carried out by the Client Record Office at the Centre for Housing Research (CHR) in St Andrews.
A Client Record Form should be completed for clients who start to receive any of the following Supporting People funded services:
Supported housing
women's refuge
foyer
teenage parent accommodation
floating support services
outreach services
resettlement services
direct access accommodation
adult placements and supported lodgings.
The following services are excluded from the Client Record system:
Very sheltered housing
sheltered housing with warden support
almshouse
peripatetic warden services
leasehold scheme
home improvement agencies
community alarm services.
An important change is being introduced from April 2007: submissions must be electronic.
No paper returns will be accepted for clients who start to receive Supporting People funded services from April 2007 onwards.
All documentation relating to Client Records can de downloaded from the Client Record website (opens in a new window).
