Case Recording

Information on case recording in Camden

Case Recording

All ASC practitioners have a responsibility to make high quality case records in line with the Care Act 2014. Good case recording is an integral part of the service we provide to adults and carers. Accurate case recording of up to date information is essential to maintaining high standards of social care practice and service delivery.

Watch 'An update on data protection from Andrew Maughan, the Borough Solicitor' | Microsoft Stream. For further information refer to the case recording guidance.

Case recording should be purposeful, clear, relevant, objective, up-to-date and comprehensive. There should be a clear indication about what is fact and what is opinion. Case notes should be reflective of the adults and carer’s perspective and should not contain anything that could be construed as derogatory or misleading. Case recording should maintain a clear focus on the adults:

  • Wellbeing
  • Welfare
  • Desired outcomes

Where information is not recorded, there is no evidence the work has been completed. If work was completed but not recorded well, it is considered unfit for purpose.
