Oldham Safeguarding Adults Board (OSAB) are pleased to share an essential 7-Minute Briefing about record keeping and information sharing. The briefing includes key messages including the clear purpose of record keeping; the importance of contemporaneous and accurate record keeping; sharing relevant information, documenting meetings and sharing actions, including out of area information sharing; and sharing information in a safeguarding context including when consent must be overridden.

7-Minute Briefings are based on research which suggests that seven minutes is an ideal time span in which to concentrate and learn. Learning for 7 minutes is manageable in most services and often more memorable as it is necessarily brief and not clouded by other issues and pressures. These short, safeguarding snapshots can be a helpful way to support team learning. Please discuss this briefing within your teams, complete the OSAB 7-Minute Briefing Team Discussion Feedback Form to record and evidence how you have used the briefing and send a copy to OSAB.
