SPLS extract Funding file

In import / export section of help said that "The values in the SupportServicesSPFunding extract correspond to those found in the ‘Year End Budget – Payments In’ report". However the value in SPLS extract is different from the Year end budget report's value report, it is bigger (extra 26-27 days of funding). Is it the requirement of CLG? Does anybody has any suggestions? Many thanks Continue

System error – Live Clients record not found if date of birth is set to future date (user error).

Subject: System error – Clients record not found if date of birth set to future date (user error). Issues: If spocc user set x client’s date of birth to future date (4943) (which I did – mistakenly), SPOCC won’t retrieve client’s record on SPOCC live and test system, no matter it is a current client or inactive client which can result into payment serious issues. Being working on Spocc’s system, resolving client’s and payment's record for last 3 years, it didn’t click in the first place what… Continue

SPOCC 7 LA tests and SPOCC 8 workshops

This week we released SPOCC 7 to the three LAs that have volunteered to test the new version before its final release to the rest of the community next month.

In the meantime, we are putting the finishing touches to outcomes suppor… Continue

SP on YouTube.com

From: BWDBCtube on YouTube.com I discovered this Supporting People programme video on YouTube.com. While it is bannered Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council Social Services and contains their contact details, the information is not wholly Blackburn-centric. It is more of a wide ranging overview of Supporting People for the general… Continue

Thinking about SPOCC Social

To get a better grasp of what SPOCC Social is about, a particular distinction may shed some light: the difference between the web and Web 2.0. Surfing the web involves passive observation - TV without the scheduling. The latter is all about active UGC (user generated content). This concept is brilliantly illustrated by Kathy Sierra of the Creating Passionate Users blog in her topic The Best Thing About… Continue
