Im now starting my SEF and so far im writing and its flowing quite well....BUT i just wonder how particular do you have to be with regards to wording.

Im not very good at spelling and academically big words are not my thing so can i just write as i would speak? no swear worrds obviously:laughing:

I can't remember who it was who said they'd filled in their sef as if they were just talking to the inspector but I thought it was a good way of doing it - as long as you don't swear! :D :laughing:

I would fill it in however you feel comfortable - its a SELF evaluation form and its for YOU!!! Thats my view anyway - I don't do it electronically and I don't submit it to anyone anywhere even tho my early years team keep asking me for it! I printed it out for my inspection and the inspector was more than happy with that. Its mine I tell you - mine!!!:)

I've started my nurse training and the best thing someone told me as I was nervous about writing was KISS keep it simple....stupid it's got me top marks with my essays so I would say write as you speak it's all about you :laughing:

I write mine as if I am talking to someone about what I do, mine is also hand written. To show simple progression I write about changes to practice etc on a post it note as and when, I stick these onto the relevant page down the side of it. So my SEF started in 2008 and each page has a few post it's on, it's clear that I reflect on and evaluate practice and easy for someone else to see the changes as they read through.

Love the post it notes idea :thumbsup: I scribble things down the side of mine but it does start to look messy, think I might adopt your idea too if you don't mind

I have pressed the submit button:clapping: only taken me about 4 months with some rest time inbetween, That was a hard slog, and the last couple of answers are a bit iffy but I just wanted it done, now to update my risk assessments:eek: never mind they are not quite so daunting. It did make me laugh though at the end it asks how long it took to complete 1 hour:eek: , 2 hours or more than 4, it should be 1 month, 2 month, etc.. I dont know how anyone could do it in an hour.
