Outline - The what and how of documentation can make a big difference in the lives of the people who consult us. Workers engaged with strengths-based and narrative ideas find themselves questioning the “client file” systems they have largely inherited from medical traditions. St Lukes have coined the phrase “client owned recording” to help us think about ways of putting the principles of self-determination and transparency into action in our recording practices. Have you ever wished that documenting your work could be an enjoyable activity that enhances your practice rather than an administrative chore? In this workshop we will clarify why we could be interested in documenting our involvement with the people who consult us and what might be important to record. Participants will have opportunities to review examples of the “service folders”, paperwork tools and “change documents” developed at Kyabra and in other agencies committed to these approaches. There will also be a chance for participants to apply these ideas to the construction of documents they may actually take back into their practice after the workshop. So, whether you are interested in “case-notes” or choreographed songs this workshop will support you to document for difference.

Outcomes - At the completion of the workshop participants will have:
1. Briefly reflected on the place and history of “practices of the written word” in welfare practice, and what can be learned from times our own lives have been written about.
2. Identified guiding principles and values that inform strengths-based approaches to documenting and recording, and key skills andtools for this aspect of practice.
3. Distinguished “client-owned recording” from other “client file” traditions, and briefly examined St Lukes’ “Service Folders” and other examples of client owned recording systems and tools.
4. Been exposed to a variety of different ways of documenting.
5. Explored the concept of “change documents”, and practiced using these ideas to draft a document relating to their own recent practice.
