Narrative Recording as Relational Practice in Social Services: A Case Study from a Scottish Carer Support Organisation

Narrative recording in case records and individual plans within social services represents the means by which stories can be constructed with and about the people with whom services work, influencing relationship building and outcomes. Identities and decision-making are forged in records, shaping people’s lives. Yet, limited attention is paid to narrative recording in research and practice.
