Why this matters 

Good meetings don’t just make decisions. They follow through on them. An action register helps your P&C track what was agreed, who is responsible and when it needs to be done. 

This supports accountability, continuity and smoother handovers. 

How to use this template 

Use the action register to record: 

• decisions that require follow-up 
• tasks assigned during meetings 
• deadlines and progress updates 

Update it regularly and review it at each meeting. 

Action Register – suggested fields 

• Date agreed 
• Action 
• Responsible person 
• Due date 
• Status 
• Notes or updates 

Good practice tip 

Link actions directly to meeting minutes so it is always clear where decisions came from.
