Course Description
Introduction
This training session reiterates the importance of effective record keeping for all staff and outlines the key expectations of high-quality records. It aims to ensure that staff fully understand the importance of consistency in the quality of all incidents submitted.
Many schools may have organised the set-up of their system some time ago and staff may never have received specific training. Our consultant offers an interactive session with several examples shared as learning points.
