    Default SEF or FCCERS

    Hi there,

    I've just been told that I have been accepted on to my LA FCCERS 3 day course (limited spaces)

    should I still do Ofsteds SEF?

    Ofsted information states that you do not need to do both - as long as you have evidence of self evaluation that's enough.

    However, the SEF does follow the inspection process and you can send it to Ofsted before your inspection so it can be read by your inspector - so you need to think your decision through carefully.

    Hope this helps!

    I certainly will but wont have completed it until end of May 3 day course, 3 Saturdays over 3 months.

    See if you can buy the book it seems simple enough to use without doing training

    I believe my LA asks cms in the network to do the SEF and ECCERS...as well as all cms who belong having to be Accredited no matter what their grade is...talk about imposition and additional bureaucracy...no wonder Truss is busy trying to get rid of the unnecessary red tape.
