What kind of information recorded in personal records, why these are needed and what to do if i need to report

Answer 1

Hi
The information that is recorded is what you need to know to carry out your job effectively, it really depends on the field you are working in, for example, if you work in health and social care, the information recorded would be a clients personal circumstance and their needs, next of kin details etc, the information you would need to report would be any changes in the above, you would report this immediately (if urgent) or as soon as possible, you would report it any changes to your senior/manager, verbally or through written communications.
hope this helps, I only assess care so I cannot say for sure what you would put for any other working environment, I guess it would be similar

Answer 2

On your records there will be ;
Application form and / or CV
Interview notes.
Any changes in your contract. inc pay rises
Any formal warnings
Any reviews and Apr's(appraisals)
Any promotions/ demotions /letters of positive working



Some of these are held for specific times and then removed and some possibly all will no longer be held in a manual system but on computer records.
You can apply for these through your Personnel dept usually at a small fee (administrative charge)

These are required so that everything is kept above board and for purposes such as lying on your cv/ application.

It is also a record of progression. If you go to another job you may want a detailed reference and you can not rely on people in the business remaining so your history is left on file whether that be manual or digital.

Need to report or want to see your records?

Believe me there are no secret notes. These records are very straight forward and there should be nothing on them that you haven't seen.
