The reason i've got this job (it's temporary) is because there's an audit at the end of next month and they've got to change the files over from perfectly adequate paper ones, to plastic ones which you can't carry cos they slide everywhere. It's a boring task, so it gets rotated who does it. This week it's been my turn. Cos stuff has to be in the right order and section, you have to scan everything to check what it is.
They're really not pretty. The written accounts of incidents are bad enough, but loads of them have pictures taken at the hospital of of cuts. bruises, injuries and burns. The worst things though, were the drawings they make the kids do at assessments. There's nothing wrong with them exactly, i think it would have been easier i they were all dark and horrific in a way, they were just like the crappy doodlings everyone draws as a kid (and i still do on me odd art attempt). When they're stapled on to these reports though, they really are quite upsetting. No one else there seems too bothered with what they're dealing with. I guess you have to develop a thick skin to do the job in the long term.
Anyway, not that i wanted to in the first place, but i've learnt i don't want to work with kids.
It's a shitty world aint it.
