Recording is regarded by most social workers as a necessary evil. The research from which this book arises found that recording is a highly complex and demanding aspect of professional practice. Why has such a critical activity received so little attention, despite the concerns over social work records identified with successive inquiries into tragic deaths? This highly topical book explores the often conflicting demands on social workers as they record information on the case files, and will stimulate a long overdue debate as to how to achieve more effective recording in social work.
Liz O'Rourke has worked as a training consultant since 1994, and has written two training manuals on the subject of recording in social care, together with a book on the relationship between tutors and learners. She began her career in psychiatric nursing and was previously training manager with Berkshire Social Services. Along with her training work she has, over the last six years, been researching the experience of social workers in relation to recording.
