<p>The quality assurance audit process following consultation is in place to ensure
that the report the Health Professional provides to the Department is of a high standard.
This is a very important part of the process to check the information provided is
fully explained and justified.</p><p>Where assessments have been graded as either
‘acceptable - report amendment required’ or ‘unacceptable’ the reports are returned
to the Assessment Provider for remedial activity. Where possible, this activity should
be taken by the Health Professional who carried out the original assessment. DWP is
not prescriptive on how changes should be made. The Assessment Provider is responsible
for ensuring the returned report is then fit for purpose prior to resubmitting it
to DWP.</p>
