Abstract
Abstract This paper reviews literature and research evidence which suggest that recording remains a residual activity in social work practice. It warns of the dangers of, and explores some possible reasons for social work's apparent failure to respond to standards of, and values underpinning good recording practice. The paper concludes by suggesting that recording practice may not improve until policy-makers, managers and trainers appreciate and respond to practitioners' lived work experience.
