About this course

It begins by describing what is meant by a record and then outlining the legislation, codes of practice and guidelines related to record keeping.
The course then explains the issue of consent with written records, highlighting the importance of ensuring consent, and in what circumstances the worker may pass over issues without prior consent.
The course then describes in detail good practice in recording information including ensuring accurate, complete, legible records, the difference between fact, opinion and judgement and how to best record these different types of information.
The course then uses real-life case studies to illustrate the importance of recording concerns, and of incorporating the individual’s viewpoints in their records.
In the final stage, the course explores how to maintain security of records and details common errors made by staff in maintaining security of information.
