Session Overview

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Turn observation notes into a clear, factual and balanced written record.

• Highlight strengths and development points in writing without bias

• Plan and deliver a feedback conversation that is specific, supportive and linked to the written report.

A good observation isn’t finished until it’s written up clearly and shared constructively. This session explores how to move from raw notes to a well-structured observation record that captures what really happened in the session.

We’ll look at simple ways to present strengths, areas for development and agreed actions, and practise how to use that written record to support an effective, confidence-building feedback conversation
