I wish they would stop changing it!

Has much changed?

I have not accessed it yet but I assume it has to reflect the new framework which also becomes effective 4 Nov

I was going to updated mine today funnily enough....so will take a look later...if they have simplified it then I will be happy
I want to check if existing SEF has been transferred to new one or do we start again

I have mine saved on word so hopefully it will just be a matter of cut and paste to the new areas

Wishing the same here otherwise all that hard work has gone wasted
Despite all my best efforts no chance to take a look at the new version today...I'll do a Scarlett O'Hara now...I will think about it tomorrow!!!

Just a few wording changes! All the questions are the same

Simona · 28-10-2013, 08:25 AM

Oh dear ...so nothing has changed just a few new words?...like satisfactory is now 'requires improvement'?

I wonder how providers will grade themselves now...if that is still what we have to do?
