What will official counts be recorded on?

Official counts will be recorded on the count slip because this document is specifically designed for the purpose of documenting and maintaining accurate and formal records of the counts conducted within a facility. The count slip ensures that there is a reliable reference for the number of individuals present at any given time, and it serves as an official account that can be reviewed for accuracy and compliance.

Using personal notes or an emergency count log, while functional in certain contexts, does not hold the same level of formality and official designation as the count slip. The facility schedule relates to planned activities and staffing rather than the specific task of documenting counts. Therefore, the count slip remains the appropriate and correct method for recording official counts in a structured and accountable manner.
