Written records for workers
A
written personal record should be kept for all workers. This
may include completed application forms and references, written summaries
of support sessions and any steps taken to manage incidents/issues
of concern about the conduct of a worker towards children or
young
people. These records must be managed in accordance with the
principles of the Data Protection Act 1998 (see managing
and sharing information – module
6).
Being able to track the support you have given to an individual
will be helpful if you decide to refer them to the List because
the grounds
for referral have been met.
In the written report (reference) you make to Scottish Ministers
you will be expected to show that you have managed a concern in
an appropriate manner and that your response to the worker’s
behaviour was justifiable and in line with your organisation’s
procedures and guidelines.
