What do I Do in ChildPlus When a Participant's Family Member Dies

Authors list

Unfortunately, there will be the occasion when a PARTICIPATING CHILD’S FAMILY MEMBER passes away. When this happens, please make the following changes to the deceased family member’s account:

  1. Move the person’s first name to the middle name space

  2. Enter “DECEASED” (all caps) as their new first name

  3. Add a case note which includes their date of death

  4. If the deceased person is a primary adult, make sure their Adult Status is changed to Other Adult, and another family member is made the primary adult .

By handling it in this way, any generated report will include “Deceased” and we can avoid distressing parent communications.

Please see the example in the image below:
