Description
Every day we take notes on a whole range of matters. We record incidents that happen at School, discussions with colleagues, students, parents, management/staff meetings, disciplinary or performance meetings, or just general recording of day-to-day affairs.
But what if those notes become relevant in a legal setting or the matter becomes the subject of legal proceedings in a court, tribunal, inquest, or Commission hearing?
In this session, Michael and Nigel will discuss what you need to consider when making notes of discussions with colleagues, parents, students or recording incidents etc. It will consider what your notes need to include and what depth of information should be covered to put both yourself and your School in the best position should the need arise.
This Legal Session is being offered to all members of your School: board members, management, teachers, teaching assistants, administrative support officers and other general employees.
