Submitting Incident Reports

How to submit an incident report, as a DSP, in the mobile app.

Updated over a week ago

Submit incident reports to log any unexpected events during a shift—like falls, behaviors, or medication issues.

Step 1: open the shift

  1. Login to the app

  2. Tap View shift at the top of the Home screen

  3. Select the client you are in service with (listed under Clients)


Step 2: navigate to incident reports

  1. Tap Incident Reports underneath the Reports section

  2. Tap Report an Incident

Note: If the button is grayed out at first, wait a moment for it to fully load.


Step 3: fill out and submit the incident report

  1. Select the Incident Type from the dropdown

  2. Answer each question fully. Be clear and specific for compliance and follow-up

  3. Tap Submit

Note: Your agency customizes each incident type and the questions that accompany it.

You can submit multiple incidents during the same shift. Simply repeat the steps above—there’s no limit to how many reports you can log.

Once the report is submitted, it will be sent directly to the Giv dashboard for admin review. If your agency uses incident alert emails, the designated contacts will also receive an automatic notification.
