is a term used in some Health Authorities to describe a staff person who has higher level training and is expected to steward, guide, and mentor Designated Responders who are doing the investigation and ensure that the Designated Agency’s statutory obligations are met, as not all programs have team leaders/practice supervisors or managers who have training about the role of a Designated Agency.
Check with your Health Authority for a list of the positions or staff who has responsibilities as a Designated Responder.
