Keeping good case notes and records can be hard. It may be very time-consuming, and some staff may not know what to record or how to record efficiently.
This training helps in taking some of the pain out of keeping case notes by giving clear guidelines on the how and why of recording and on what should be recorded.
The training will cover:
Why keep case notes and records? (this section includes a discussion on professional and legal obligations); what is a record?; common mistakes when keeping case notes and records and how to avoid them; how to write in a way that is easy to defend and hard to attack and; how to write case notes and keep records in a way that is respectful of the client and allows the worker to demonstrate the they have discharged their duty of care.
The training will also cover how to document client progress simply and effectively and how to document risk and the associated safety plans, where they are needed.
Detailed notes, including an extensive bibliography will be provided.
