Recording is a daily part of social work and social care practice that involves a range of approaches, styles, formats and systems. It is a highly skilled activity that continues to evolve as changes and developments take place in professional practice.
On this page you'll find a collection of Iriss resources about recording practice in social services, including articles, learning reports and tools.
During 2019/20 we worked with East Ayrshire Health & Social Care Partnership to explore recording practice from a cross-service perspective and in 2020/21 we will continue to build on this work and take it in new directions. As new resources are produced we'll add them to this collection.
