How to prepare a report Types of report Accident reports Incident reports Assessment reports Report about a project such as a plan to develop the outdoors CAF or other official review 1. A factual report - to inform - such as an accident or incident report. This is a straightforward statement of the facts, giving an accurate record. 2. An instructional report - to explain: for example, when a change is introduced, such as a change to the curriculum, or a revised system of reporting about food quality, this be written as an instructional report (step by step) telling people about the new procedures. 3. A leading report - persuade people to listen to your ideas, such as developing your outdoor area. The leader wants to encourage people to support his/her idea. The writer of the report will lead people towards making a decision that he or she wants. This report needs a lot of evidence to be successful, such as examples of other outdoor areas and proof of positive outcomes from tried and tested outdoor developments. Features of a report Title page: a simple title page with the writer's name, title, date and an indication of whether it is confidential Content list:the contents of short reports can be shown on the title page. Longer reports should have a separate page listing the major sections, sub sections if any and appendices. Introduction: this gives the aim and background to the report Main part of the report: details facts and findings Conclusions: summarising the main points of the report Recommendations: make any recommendations relating them clearly to what has gone before Appendices: some reports need detailed supporting information or perhaps information that only some readers need. All this goes in the appendices. In some cases a report may also contain References: this lists books and articles consulted as a basis for the report, or those you want to suggest as further reading - or both. Glossary of terms: this can be a help if your readers include non-experts as well as experts as it explains terms such as EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) |
