What information is kept on record?

 
When a child has been looked after by Children's Services at Greenwich, the department will have:

  • care notes and other relevant documents
  • records of review meetings
  • any relevant legal documents
  • a record of the people the child had contact with
  • any decisions that would have been made about the child’s needs and plans.

Why is this information kept on record?

Children's Services needs to keep a record of a child’s information in order to:

  • plan and provide services
  • help staff with the information that they need to know
  • enable staff and managers to know what is happening with the child’s service
  • plan further services if required
  • maintain a record for future access
Records are also an account of the actions that the Council takes and show how we comply with the law.
