Records that help children understand their story
A practical session on writing records that are accurate, proportionate, respectful and useful.
What the session covers
Look at both the language of records and the professional thinking behind them.
- Language that cares, language that labels and language that closes down understanding.
- Chronologies, daily records, incident reports, key-work records and management oversight.
- Recording children’s views, wishes and feelings—including dissent, refusal and silence.
What participants should leave with
- A clearer understanding of how recording shapes a child’s story and the home’s safeguarding evidence.
- Practical ways to write records that are child-centred, analytical and fair.
- Confidence to record the child’s voice without turning it into adult interpretation.
