The Notes report will give you an overview of all the notes created across the Client/Carer feeds and can be used for PIRs and CQC or Care Inspectorate Inspections. This is useful to see how many notes are being created, who is creating them and includes the ability to see a breakdown by note type and filter by specific time periods or client groups.
Notes on the Agency hub
This report is linked to the Notes section on the Client/Carer feed. Start by going to the Client or Team tab on your Agency hub and select the person whose notes you would like to view. Click on their Client/ Carer feed on the left-hand side and click Notes to view their notes.
Notes allow you to record non-visit information such as compliments, complaints, and general interactions. There are 7 types of notes you can create such as a complaint, compliment, general notes, introduction, check-in call, audit, and referral.
For more information on how to create a note please see this article- How to use Birdie’s Client Feed and Notes

Filtering the report
To get the most relevant information, you can filter by:
Branch
Client/ Care Group
Client name
Note type (audit note, complaint, compliment, etc)
Date created
Once you have selected the relevant filters to you, click the Update button in the right-hand corner. The graph below will then reflect the changes you have made and will display the last six months.
To further drill down into the information, you can click the coloured icons at the bottom of the graph. You can toggle these on and off. For example, if you only want to look at the complaints over the past few months, you can unclick the other icons. To include them in the report again, click them again.
If you have an upcoming CQC inspection you may want to highlight all the compliments your agency has received from clients and family members. You can do this by filtering the Note Type to 'Compliment' and download the report to share with the inspector.
If a local authority has requested complaints information for a selection of clients, you can filter by the Tagged Client Name and the Note Type to find this information and easily download it for the council to review.
