  • Adding New Information to the Notes Section of a Child Visit Contact Log (3:55)
    • In the contact log for a child visit, the CASA/GAL may record a set of abbreviated notes–with the intent of going back at a later time and elaborating on them. This lesson demonstrates how to add new information to an existing set of notes for a child visit. These same procedures can also be used for making additions to the notes of interviews.
  • Adding New Information to a Family Member’s Record (3:47)
    • Information on any party involved in a case may be either missing or have changed. This lesson demonstrates how to enter a missing date of birth and how to add a new cell phone number for one of the family members in the Harris-Price case.
