Child-sensitive records checklist

This checklist can help workers and their agencies ensure that case records and reports produced about a child or young person are child-centred and child-sensitive.

It is based on what young people have told the Office of the Guardian  about what information they think should be recorded and how it should be recorded.

The  Child-sensitive records checklist can be downloaded as a PDF file from our website or printed copies can be obtained via our requesting materials page.
