I hear the new sef is now live but only through gateway login and my login isn't working, ive requested a new password and thats not working either :mad:

i'm so annoyed i want to see the new sef has anyone else looked?

Now I can not log in either :laughing:

Angel xx

I've just logged in all my info has been transferred to the new sef, going to take some sorting out though:(
I went in through government gateway not the ofsted website, don't know if that makes any difference.

Just logged into mine and it seems much shorter. Things have been moved and it has message saying 'this has been moved from blah blah section please delete' etc

I still can't get into my account so guess I'll have to wait until Monday to get it sorted and see the sef :(

Good to know it looks shorter! :)

I've been saying for a while it would follow the new 3 inspection outcomes... it makes more sense that way.

Reading through inspection reports it still needs pretty much all the same information in it but in a different order :rolleyes: :laughing:

Justgoodfriends have you found any guidance notes yet? You are good at ferreting these things out! ;)

That will keep me busy for the next week or so then updating my e-book! :D
