FAQ

Frequently Asked

×

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about this product.

The Record of SP on Duty section captures the staff sign in and sign out of the responsible person on duty and nominated supervisor. It is often the case that you will have multiple responsible persons on duty in one day due to shift changes, for example, you may have a person on open shift sign in as responsible person from 6 until 8am, the director as responsible person from 8am until 4pm and then a close staff member from 4pm to 6pm.

This Diary is designed to be an office diary and a source of communication between the team. Recording important details and communication and managing staff and meetings all in the one place ensures all staff are aware of key information. The Diary not only provides a record for A&R but acts as a collaborative tool for the service. "The reading of the diary is a requirement before each educator starts for the day and is located next to their sign in sheets."

That completely depends on the size and needs of your service! Larger services may prefer the daily version as it provides more room to capture communication, shift changes, responsible persons and children booked in. For services with less communication who want to capture responsible persons on duty for compliance, the weekly version may meet your needs.

"Each diary that we use is laid out in such a way that ALL compliance and record keeping is there - it simply needs to be filled out - each individual diary ticks all the compliance boxes - all the educators have to do is fill them out - it is really simple and easy to understand - This ensures everything is easy to find and on show for spot checks etc. Also no need to go back and fill in missing gaps as everything is there."

Common feedback that we hear is that our Diaries keep everything is one place. With the pressure of Assessment and Rating and so much paperwork, it can make staying organised difficult. We reduce compliance confusion and support you in keeping everything together - particularly handy now with reduced time notices before A&R now in effect.

These resources are great places to get your questions answered. You can also always get in touch if you can’t find your answer below.
