• Develop confidence and skills to enable participants to record accurately.

• Understand that it is essential to distinguish between ‘facts’ and ‘professional judgements’,  hypotheses, non – factual information and conclusions based on observation and assessment.

• Provide clarity about the purpose ofrecording and for whom it is being written, working from the principle of ‘openrecording’, which would enable people to see and contribute to their records wherever appropriate and possible.

• Assist participants when structuring records and address how to focus on key themes and issues. 

•  Address key principles around information sharing both within and across agencies.

• Help participants to understand the importance of recording in terms of analysing patterns of behaviour, improvements, problems and needs.

By the end of the course, participants must be able to understand:

• The purpose and function of recording
• Why recording needs to be executed in a professional and systematic way
• How effective recording benefits the worker, the service and the service user
• The importance of using evidence and being able to reference it when recording   
• The potential consequences of poor recording
• The importance of using simple English
• What is meant by ‘objective’ recording; dealing with our own:

• Distinguishing between fact and opinion

• The use of non-judgmental and anti-discriminatory language

• How jargon and abbreviations can alienate people

Liverpool Social Care Partnership, in collaboration with the British Heart Foundation, are offering 150 FREE places (25 per session) to learn CPR, this is a lifesaving skill.

Survival rates from out of hospital cardiac arrest remain stubbornly low in the UK, with fewer than one in ten people surviving. The British Heart Foundation (BHF) estimate that up to 5,000 more lives could be saved every year if CPR was taught more widely. In fact, when someone suffers a cardiac arrest, their chance of survival can double if a bystander immediately performs CPR.

All individuals who attend this training will be able to;

•          Recognise a heart attack and cardiac arrest
•          Help an unconscious person
•          Perform CPR
•          Help someone choking
•          Respond to serious bleeding

The training will include Adult C.P.R, Child C.P.R. information about defibrillator usage and the recovery position and an opportunity to ask questions. All participants will receive a certificate after successfully completing the session, the certificate will remain valid for 2 years.

Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a serious anxiety-related condition where a person experiences frequent intrusive and unwelcome obsessional thoughts, often followed by repetitive compulsions, impulses or urges.

The illness affects as many as 12 in every 1000 people (1.2% of the population) from young children to adults, regardless of gender or social or cultural background. In fact, it can be so debilitating and disabling that the World Health Organisation (WHO) has actually ranked OCD in the top ten of the most disabling illnesses of any kind, in terms of lost earnings and diminished quality of life.

Based on current estimates for the UK population, there are potentially around 741,504 people living with OCD at any one time.  

This course has been developed and mapped to:

• The Government document - No Health without Mental Health
  
• Skills for Care - The Common Core Principles to support good mental health and well-being in adult social care
  
• NICE guidelines for OCD to improve the understanding of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder,
  

We will explore the individual’s experience of living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and how to support them.
