The Joint Professional Record (JPR) complements parent-held child health records for vulnerable children. This clinic-held record aids multidisciplinary teams in child protection and care.
Area of Science:
- Child Health Surveillance
- Pediatric Record Keeping
- Public Health Policy
Background:
- The parent-held Personal Child Health Record was introduced in the UK in 1991.
- Parallel, clinic-held records were identified as necessary for specific child populations.
- The Joint Professional Record (JPR) was developed for multidisciplinary use.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate the use of the Joint Professional Record (JPR).
- To assess the impact of the JPR on professional working relationships.
- To consider the implications of the JPR as a confidential record within a partnership-with-parents policy.
Main Methods:
- A program of audit was conducted.
- Staff seminars were utilized for development and evaluation.
- The study focused on the use of the JPR for children on the Child Protection Register and those with special needs.
Main Results:
- The JPR proved to be a useful adjunct to clinical supervision in Child Protection.
- The JPR is appropriately used for children in need of protection.
- The JPR facilitates multidisciplinary collaboration for vulnerable children.
Conclusions:
- The Joint Professional Record (JPR) enhances care for children requiring protection or with special needs.
- The JPR supports effective multidisciplinary working and clinical supervision.
- The JPR can be integrated into policies of partnership with parents.
