Recording case notes can feel like an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy that takes time away from seeing other service users. Keeping accurate, up-to-date records is a key task.  Quite simply, it matters to the people who use our services that we make good records.

This workshop will explore

  • The reasons we need to keep file notes and records
  • The different types of records we keep
  • Common mistakes when keeping file notes and records and how to avoid them
  • How to write notes effectively
  • Writing in a way that is easy to defend and hard to attack
  • Writing letters of support and referral

The workshop takes a blended learning approach which provides fantastic added value:

  • A 2.5 hour on-line workshop
  • Join the workshop from any device, laptop, desktop, tablet or mobile phone
  • A dedicated course portal containing self-study and e-learning exercises
  • Downloadable materials

The workshop would be suitable for:

Anyone who needs to record and keep case notes as part of their day to day role.
