The information recorded should be appropriately shared with the parents/carers and other professionals who are involved with the care of the child e.g. physiotherapists, occupational therapists.
Paper copies of the information should be kept secure in a lockable filing cabinet while digital data should be stored on a removable device that can be locked away or on a cloud based system that has appropriate security measures and can only be accessed by the childminder and possibly parents/carers.
