Amanda ,
I record everything that is written about an employee in their notes.If it
has not been written and I feel it is relevant I will ask the manager to
write to me. If a referel is made to me the emplyee sees it so we both
understand what I am being asked.This I find is the best time to emphasise
the confidentiality between myself and the employee.
I made clear that this would happen alomost as soon as I took up my post
when I was horrified to receive some very judgemental comments from a
manager.It works well and has reduced the personal comments .Even e-mails
are filed.
Happy Christmas to everyone!!! I am off to Gran Canaria saturdaywill think
of you all whilst I soak up the sun!!!
Joan
