Teachers often inquire about the necessary information they need to retain to meet their insurance's record-keeping requirement. The purpose of these records is to serve as a defence in case of potential claims. Therefore, it is essential to record specific details about the class. These records should include:
- Dates, times, locations, and for whom
- Details of the postures, sequences or adjustments given
- Information about any products or equipment used
- Any advice provided, including aftercare instructions
- Relevant medical information that may impact the practice, such as pregnancy or allergies.
It will generally not be necessary for you to retain additional sensitive personal information that a student may have divulged.
Always check directly with your insurance provider.
