I feel a bit torn really, as this is CLEARLY using the DM statements or EYO as a ticklist, which is what the DM document specifically says we should not use it as, but on the other hand, my ofsted lady at my pre-reg approved the use of the tracker I showed her and reassured me that it doesn't count as a ticklist! Why can't things be simple!!?!
