    Default My first visit

    Anyone help!
    Having my first visit with cssiw on wednesday just wondering do I have to have my policies? i have handed them in for them to look at. Do I need to print another copy of them or not bother. Will she bring my folder back with her will she just be looking around the house? Anyone on what she will be looking at?

    I registered 4 years ago but my application pack was kept at the CSSIW office until my registration was complete. I printed another copy of all my policies and this became the basis of a portfolio that I share with parents whe they visit. Your inspector will have read them already and she will let you know if she thinks any amendments are needed.

    As to your house inspection she will be looking to make sure it is a safe environment. if you don't have all your safety features in place yet then you can just make her aware that you know what you need to do. Again if there is anything she wants you to do she will let you know.

    It is not as scary as you think and just remember she is there to help Let us know how it goes

    Good luck.

    I had a copy on the table when my CSSIW insp came but she had bought the copies that I had sent in with her anyway.

    Hope it goes well today
