The Record: Personal Journal and Log
When you're living with abuse, being falsely accused, or going through the family court, the details blur. Dates merge. Words get lost. And when you finally tell someone, the police, a solicitor, a judge, you're asked for specifics you can no longer remember.
The Record gives you a simple, private place to write it all down, close to the time, in plain facts.
What's inside
- 24 incident pages: date, time, place, who was there, what happened, exact words said, injuries, whether children were present, evidence and where it's saved, and who you told
- Quick log for smaller things that add up over time
- Messages and calls log
- Contact and handover log for parents
- Health and wellbeing log
- Chronology builder, to turn everything into one clear timeline
- Key contacts and reference numbers page
- Guidance on keeping your record safe, and how to write entries professionals can use
- A directory of free helplines
How it works
A 49-page PDF with 1,355 fillable fields. Fill it in on screen in Adobe Reader, your web browser or Preview on a Mac, or print it and write by hand. Download it once and keep it for good.
The cover simply says "The Record: a personal journal and log", so nothing on it shows what it's for.
Please note
This is a personal record-keeping tool, not legal advice. If you're in danger right now, call 999.
