Please update your RDS mobile app to version 4.7.1

We are pleased to advise that deep linking capability, enabling users to directly download individual mobile toolkits, has now been released on the RDS mobile app. When you install the update, you will see that each toolkit has a small QR code icon the header area beside the search icon – see screenshot below. Clicking on this icon will open up a window with a full-size QR code and the alternative of a short URL for sharing with users. Instructions are provided.

You may need to actively install the update to install RDS app version 4.7.1 to see this improvement. Installing this update is also strongly recommended to get the full benefits of the new contingency arrangements – specifically, that if the RDS website should fail, you will still be able to download new mobile app toolkits.

To check your current RDS version, click on the three dots bottom right of the RDS app screen. This takes you to a “More” page where you will see the version number. To install latest updates:

On iPhones – go to the Apple store, click on your profile icon top right, scroll down to see the apps waiting to be updated and update the RDS app.

On Android phones – these can vary, but try going to the Google Play store, click on your profile icon top right, click on “Manage apps and device”, select and update the RDS app.

Please get in touch with ann.wales3@nhs.scot with any questions.

An Adult Support and Protection Case Conference is a multi-agency forum, held to share information and make decisions about how to support and protect an adult deemed to be at risk in circumstances where harm has occurred or is suspected. The adult should, where possible, be invited to contribute as fully as possible.

Case conference decisions will always seek to protect an adult by the use of informal protection measures but will also consider the need for statutory protection measures under the 2007 Act or other relevant legislation. All relevant reports should be submitted before the case conference and the AP2 Risk Assessment will have a completed chronology of significant events to inform the Multi-Agency meeting and assist with Protection Planning. The adult or their representative may also wish to submit a report or viewpoint for consideration at the case conference and the responsible manager should ensure that all information is passed to the Chairperson as soon as possible.
