Hi.

Just a little word of warning guys.

Spent several hours on my sef form last week, pressed SAVE and lost all my work! Tried again, 3 hrs later pressed SAVE same thing happened. Close to tears, :angry: phoned Ofsted, other people had same problem. Was told that you should press SAVE every 10 mins or so to save your work. So be careful!:clapping:

thanks for the advise i havnt started mine yet and as time is precious to me i will be gutted if i complete it and lose the lot xxxx

It said that is saves a section every time you go onto the next one, or to save every 10min. So it did not save a section when you went onto the next one then?:(

I think i will be pressing the save button lots and lots from now on.:eek:

I did mine in word and then copy & pasted it online and that worked well.

Poor you!

Poor you! it's difficult enough without having to keep rewritting it!:mad:

Poor you!

i did the same and dragged it on to the sef and saved it ohh i was close to tears when i culdnt get it to work but some1 ere told me how (THANK YOU )

thanks for the warning im ringing ofsted today about parent responsability etc as parent told me to mind my own bees wax lol hope ofsted will give out pr-printed forms for parents to fill in if its law!!!

good luck with your sef x

oh heck! :(

I always advise people to fill it in on your computer first, spell check... then copy and paste into the online system when you are ready.

This way it's safe on your comp.

I couldnt get it to copy and paste which was a real pain as I had to type it all out again:angry: how did you do it????

You can copy as normal using your mouse...

BUT when you paste you have to use control and v on your keyboard.

It's the way they've set it up :rolleyes:
