{"v":"<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Background.<\/strong> Forms V2 is the new paperwork system for client visits. During a visit, staff go through an on-screen interview with the client, and the system fills in the agency&#39;s paper forms from the answers. On 29 Sep 2026 Jane showed the customer the Start of Care \/ Annual (SOC\/AO) visit on site.
