Report writing and recording

Poor case recording leads to poor decision-making and poor reports.This course considers in detail exactly what constitutes evidence, what should be recorded and what need not be, how to be concise, how to use plain English and how to lay out reports for meetings, conferences and
court in a style that parents and young people understand. Participants will be more confident that case recording has a user focus that takes account of relevant legislation.

Learning outcomes cover:

  • How good partnerships protect children.
  • A structure for reports relevant to their agency/role.
  • The difference between fact and opinion.
  • Being able to ensure a documented account of the department’s involvement with individual service users, families, carers and other service providers.
  • Being able to differentiate information from analysis and recommendations.
  • Using research findings for good practice.
