Beta guide · Draft for review
Start small. Tell us what you find.
This guide is being prepared for admitted foster and kinship carers and child safety sector employees. Testing starts only after you receive individual access, the selected release details and the applicable tester information.
Before you start
- Read the tester conditions, privacy information and known limitations supplied for your test release.
- Use your own admitted tester identity. Do not share your login.
- Use the supplied fictional examples only.
- Follow the scenarios assigned for that release. Stop if the instructions and the application do not match.
- Use the agreed support channel if you are unsure what to do next.
Proposed testing scenarios
Your release guide will confirm which of these scenarios are ready to test.
Create a placement
Use a fictional child and check that the basic details follow through to the connected pages.
Arrange outbound respite
Record a temporary stay and a return. Check that the underlying placement remains open.
Separate children, separate stays
Use two fictional children with different temporary carers and dates. Check that one child’s return does not change the other’s stay.
Record an incident and follow up
Use a fictional event. Record the response, create the relevant action and review the proposed report.
Review before sharing
Check the report’s intended child and scope. Restricted administration and advocacy records must not appear in routine care handovers.
Leave an unfinished form
Enter fictional information, then try to leave. Record whether the safeguard gives a clear way to save or stay on the page.
Make feedback easy to follow
Include the following in the agreed feedback channel:
- Your tester code and test release.
- The page or module and what you were trying to do.
- The steps you took.
- What you expected and what actually happened.
- Whether it stopped you continuing.
- Your device and browser, if relevant.
The feedback channel and issue-reference process will be supplied before admission. This page does not submit or store feedback.
