Record Keeping & Report Writing
Course Overview
Central Training's Record Keeping & Report Writing course aims to provide candidates with the opportunity to consider and practice a range of forms of record keeping relevant to social care, including risk assessment, incident and accident forms, Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans, Mental Capacity Act assessments, and person-centred plans. The candidates will have the space to consider their own strengths in written recording and ways to build on, and improve their skills in order to achieve effective record keeping and formal report writing. The trainer will finally focus on why keeping records is important for organisations and also explore different skills on how they should be written and kept. Relevant legislation will also be covered, including Data Protection Act 2018 and General Data Protection Regulations principles.
Learning Outcomes
This course aims to equip delegates with the skills to:
- Recognise the purpose of different types of written records
- Distinguish fact from opinion, description from analysis, confidentiality from secrecy
- Write records that are fit for their intended purpose
- Identify the implications of relevant legislation around record keeping and report writing
- Include customers so that their views are represented in their own records

Methods of Delivery
The course is designed to be interactive, using practical and work-related examples. There will be a mix of individual, paired and group work, discussion and quiz, with some presentations from the trainer. In addition, there will be the opportunity to practice examples and give and receive peer-feedback in a supportive atmosphere, concluding with personal action planning.
