Following from the Documentation Skills Introduction session, this workshop will begin by summarizing the general principles that guide best practices in documentation, and the policy and legislation that inform the way we collect information in social service agencies. The rest of the workshop will focus on participants’ written work in response to various simulated, live interviews, and work situations. Participants will also have an opportunity to examine their own work and reflect on areas of improvement.
