Daily recording

Planning an outing, club or sport, the consent warning that comes with it, and writing up how it went.

Booking a medical, CAMHS, dental or professional appointment, and closing it off once it's happened.

Ask for pay for hours you worked that were not on the rota, or for an on-call call-out that was not recorded.

Recording family or professional contact — who, how, whether it was supervised, and anything that concerned you.

Download one young person's day as a single document — what goes in it, and what doesn't.

A young person's own money, split into pots — what is paid in, spent, handed over or moved, with a running balance for each pot.

Recording a regular dose as given, not given or given by others, and what happens when it is a controlled drug.

Move money from the home's cash or card into a young person's pot, so the tin and the young person's balance both stay right.

Writing the handover, confirming what's outstanding, and acknowledging one at the start of your shift.

How the home's own money is held in accounts — the cash tin and cards — and how an account is opened and topped up.

Logging points earned and spent against a young person's incentive scheme, and how the running balance is worked out.

Recording a 1:1 chat with a young person — the topics, their own words, and what you agreed — and how a manager reviews it.

Two ways to add photos, with different limits — and how to choose between them.

Record a log in seconds from the mobile screen, including dictating it instead of typing.

Log money spent from the home's cash or card, with the receipt or the reason there isn't one.

Add an entry to a young person's day — the thing you'll do most often on shift.

The logs your organisation expects done, how often, and how they show on your dashboard until they are.

Recording something a young person earned or was given, and why it mattered.

Recording a consequence, the rationale behind it, and why it was proportionate.

Find your published shifts, see what you can and cannot see of colleagues, and request leave.

Offer one of your shifts to a colleague or to anyone eligible, answer requests sent to you, and claim an open shift.

Creating, assigning and completing tasks — and why a completed one can't be edited.

What the three tabs on your dashboard hold, what each tile counts, and where to record a log.

Giving a when-required (PRN) dose or an over-the-counter medicine, what the limits do, and what to do when ARC will not let you give one.

How a young person's day comes together from the logs you write, what the Completion & review card checks, and what happens when a manager sends it back.

The order of a shift in ARC — what to open first, what to write as you go, and what to leave behind for the next team.
