For the record
this training pack provides material that will:
- stimulate awareness of the importance of recording in the delivery of social care
- help people learn the principles of effective recording
It shows how to make records that:
- are objective and reliable
- include the service user's perspective
- clearly identify the worker's judgements
Illustrates with numerous case studies relevant to care workers, there is also material that can help social workers review and improve their practice. The material can be used by managers within supervision and team meetings as well as in organised training programmes.
Liz O'Rourke is a training consultant, was previously training manger with Berkshire Social Services, and has had wide experience in care work.
