The Professional Documentation Procedures for Social Care Workers training course is for anyone that is responsible for the recording of information or report writing. Report writing is a complex task requiring good understanding and judgement, empathy, sensitivity, and good written communication skills. Reports or documents may be to inform, to record or to persuade. Writing reports is a similar process to assessment; the person writing the report gathers information, organises and logically presents information, and concludes. The Freedom of Information Act 2014 and the Data Protection Acts 1998 and 2003 are important components of the training and will be explored in detail throughout.
