1. Explain the purpose of using a diary system.
I use the outlook diary system to organise my day, and set reminders for due dates of tasks and any appointments. We also use the diary system within the compliance system to record the dates that reviews are due on customer cases. We use the system so that everyone is aware and nothing is forgotten. All important tasks are done within the time frame.

The computer based outlook diary system is the one that we use, it is easy to log, save and amend any entries. You can also use paper based diaries or calendars that people can write on.
3. Describe the purpose of obtaining relevant information about requested diary entries and changes.
The purpose of obtaining relevant information about diary entries and changes is so that all relevant people are aware of what the meeting/appointment is, and where it is.

The type of information required would be dates and times for the entry. Any information relating to the entry, for example, if it is for a meeting the place, what it is about and the people attending.
