    Default certificate? whats it like?

    I just wondered what does your certificate look like? Suppose they will be different depending if you are in Scotland England etc? Are they quite fancy? Do they get updated? What are they made of?

    O dear .......... more questions than Chris Tarrant LOL .... sorry i have had a wee wine

    I agree - after all that hard work preparing to get registered the certificate when it comes is a bit of a disappointment!

    I have one of the older ones and its thick cream with a lovely embossed seal, i think the new ones now are a lot plainer, which is a shame really considering what it represents.

    I was really disapointed with my certificate I wanted a gold edged embossed one, but all i got was a thin piece of paper - my child protection certificate is much nicer

    OOH they sound very disappointing

    I agree they should be bit more in line with the work you have to put in.
