Course Outline:
Records, including notes, are an essential tool which health and social care professionals must be able to use effectively to meet their various legal and professional responsibilities.
This interactive course explains how, when and why to write timely and accurate records, as well as how they can be used to defend your recollection under cross-examination in a courtroom environment.
Throughout the day, with the assistance of case studies and guidance templates, delegates consider who might read what they have written, what should be recorded in relevant records, what should not be recorded in them and the importance of focusing on not just what was said, but also on what is not said, as well as the overall presentation of children and their adults.
Towards the end of the day, we will consider what “good” looks like in terms of core documents (The Welfare Checklist, Chronologies, SWETs).
Assistance will be given as delegates are guided to formulate an section 7/ section 31 and discuss a section 37 document — helping to capture all of the relevant information required.
