If you need to change the key contact at any point during the collection you must also contact [email protected].

The Integrated Specialist Survey can start to be completed as soon as you have downloaded it from the SDCS system.

Find guidance on the collection portal.

Once you are logged on, you can download the Excel form template, complete your sections and circulate to colleagues to help with completion.

You need to provide your answers in the response boxes next to the questions relevant to your team/service.

Not every question has help notes. We have only provided these where we felt these are needed. If you need further guidance, please get in touch:

Remember to save the form to your computer after completing any questions and before sharing it with other colleagues to complete their sections.

We recommend the form is returned to the audit lead to co-ordinate and submit the completed form via the SDCS system within one week of the submission deadline.

The SDCS Collections team will assist you with your submission if the form does not pass all the validation checks upon file upload onto the SDCS portal.
