I am apply for a variation. I have completed the form, now all it needs is a signature.

Do I have to print out the form, sign it, scan it then send it ,or can I just attach a scanned copy of my signature to my email.

yes that is fine.
When I applied for mine I was unable to scan so took a photo & attached to to my form, Ofsted was fine with that, just took them a long time to tell if it had been granted

Thanks for that will get it sent away now

just done this myself last week,
no you don't need to sign it via internet.


I am interested to know how long this will take ?

I am a week into the process, I only required a variation of 2 hours on a wednesday for an extra 6 year old.

i will keep you informed.

Is it the pro forma form you filled in? If so it doesn't need a signature, you can just type your name.

Was told it will take about 12 weeks as they are very behind.

I have just got one, it took 2 weeks from sending the email. Although they didn't ring me. I rang to check up on it and it had already been applied to my file they just hadn't sent out the certificate.
