Annotation | A recent SSI inspection of case records showed that generally case recording had been given insufficient management attention. However, where case recording policies and practice had been developed, and were backed by management action, there were significant benefits for the quality of work undertaken and the relationships with service users. This summary of the full inspection report concerns the main points for managers to bear in mind: policies and procedures; sharing and access to records; use of information technology; equality of opportunity; and the management task.
