Overview of Caring Documentation

The Minister for Community Care is responsible for all caring documentation in Planning Center Online (PCO). 

 
 General guidelines for notes in PCO 
 
 Document the basic, “need to know” information. Keep notes succinct. 
 Write for a future audience  that is not you.   Don’t make assumptions that the reader of the note knows what you know about the person. (e.g. the name of the person’s spouse) 
 Caring Notes and Pastoral Notes can also be used to document verbatim encounters with congregants (e.g. an email setting a boundary) 
 
 All notes are created in the People module of PCO: https://people.planningcenteronline.com/
