Details

Many social care providers use electronic recording systems. During inspections, they may provide secure log-in details so that inspectors can access records held on these systems, either on site or remotely. This can really assist inspectors, particularly given the current COVID-19 restrictions.

If you are giving inspectors access to your electronic systems, you should discuss the arrangements with your inspector. Inspectors may need some assistance to become familiar with your system or alternative arrangements to review records.
