About this course
This eLearning course aims to introduce you to the topic of Recording Information in Health and Social Care.
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.

Level 3 AET was incredible. Loved it
"I loved the entire process as it was well supported with resources and templates. I enjoyed filling out the booklet and learning new things. The professional discussion with Zoe was the highlight of the program. It's just so good to talk to a fellow trainer outside of work and learn from each other. Highly recommend the course of level 3 AET!"
