Course Description

Introduction

We recommend that schools ensure their staff are recording effectively.  This session was developed by one of our trainers when it was found that many education staff had never received any training on recording effectively, which was resulting in avoidable mistakes and legal cases. This session ensures there is a clear understanding of the importance of effective record keeping and that staff and organisations are aware of their responsibility in relation to recording.

Attendees

This training is suitable for:

• Those in direct contact with children and families, regardless of the organisation
• All staff required to keep records including Family Workers, Welfare, Teachers, education staff and admin
• Those supervising staff

Learning Outcomes

• Develop new skills/methods for recording
• Describe the importance of effective record keeping and safe practice
• Explore the potential consequences of poor practice
• Gain an understanding of and developing good practice
• Detail the protocols and procedures to be followed regarding safe storage of records

Please note:

This session can include a 15-minute CPOMS demonstration for new users of the system.
