Hi all,
Its been a while since I been on here, just not had any spare time. I hope your all well.
Yesterday I met my new CDO who was absolutely lovely. She asked lots of questions and wanted to see a few documents etc... I open my cupboard where I keep lots of paperwork, books, files and so on... Well I could not believe just how much I had accumlated of the last ten years and today I have decided to sort out the cupboard.
I really wish I hadn't... I have never seen so much:eek: and now have the task of deciding which items I should keep and which I can dispose of!
I think I could start with disposing the birth to three matters files now that its been replaced!
Wish me luck its going to be a long night.
Love Kaz x

Good luck with the sort out! before you throw it out someone posted in the last couple of days looking for the birth to three matters pack for a college course , maybe you could pass it on?

Its great to be back Sarah, I have really missed the forum. Had great fun last night reading "Grannygate" oh that was hilarious!
Have just found some old attendance registers dating back to 2006... Do I need to keep them and how far back should your keep bits?
Thanks in advance for replies. x

You need to keep everything relating to children - attendance records, medicine forms, accident records, contracts, insurance docs etc until the child is 21 (for Morton Michel) and 21 years 6 months for NCMA.

Hth :D
