What makes it different
Most foster care binders are somewhere to keep the paperwork. This one is built so the paperwork can leave the house in one piece: every log page carries the date, the time, who was present, and a page number printed at the foot.
What is inside
- Twenty two log pages, all built the same way, so you never have to decide what is worth writing down
- Visit logs with time in and time out, medication logs with the dose and who gave it, mileage logs with who was in the car
- Meetings, reviews and court, with what was decided and the next date, plus school pages and day notes
- Three month summaries, the page you actually hand over, with the page numbers it came from
- A worked example, an invented month filled in, so you can see the writing before you commit a real page
- A refill pack, included as its own file: the five pages that run out, so you print one more instead of the whole book
Who it is for
- Foster carers in the United States keeping records by hand
- Anyone who has to hand a month of notes to a caseworker or a court
- Anyone claiming mileage back and needing the trips written down
What it does not do
- It is not legal advice, it is not a licensing document, and it does not tell you what your state, your agency or your court asks for. Your agency's own forms come first, every time.
- It does not add up. Paper carries nothing from one page to the next, so every total is one you write yourself.
- It is undated on purpose. A placement starts on whatever day it starts, so you write the date in the first column.
