Introduction to relationships

Relationships are used when linking organisations/people to one another via the Relationship Manager and Carer/dependant tabs. There are two types of relationships on the system;

  • Personal Relationships - The relationship between the two records. This can be a range of Family Relationships to professionals working with this person.
  • Carer Relationships - This is the relationship to specify who is a carer and who is the cared for.
