The NHS state recording healthcare meetings is a form of personal note-taking. Although professionals have to ask for permission to record us, we do not have to seek their permission - simply inform the MDT you are going to do so. NHS staff know this.
If the Social Worker objects and request a legal document as to the use of the recording (being non-NHS employed) remind them that they are carrying out a public function and ask what law or provision are they referring to, precisely, in saying recording needs to be set out in ‘a legal document’.
After advising CHC assessment team I would be recording and being assured that if there were any objections I would be prior informed, I travelled over 300 miles to an assessment meeting for the Social Worker to ask for a legal document. What qualifications do I have to write a legal document on arrival? None.
Communication with solicitor after meeting provided the what law or provision are they referring to, precisely, in saying recording needs to be set out in ‘a legal document’.
I wished I had recorded the CHC/MDT meeting because the resulting Decision Support Tool redefines understating needs and overstating abilities.
I have instigated a complaint with the local authority regarding their social worker and, on receipt of the response, shall probably take the matter up with the Social Worker's regulating body.
Appeal is in motion - research, research, research
