Here we go with my 1st question... :laughing: what are the mandatory policies and procedures you need to have written to send away with your application?

Hi

You don't need to send any policies and procedures away with you application.

(i presuming you are in England as i'm not sure about the process for CSSIW or Care Commission)

Sorry i'm in Scotland :)

I have moved you to the Scotland area where other members from Scotland should spot your question :D

Thankyou Sarah :)

You don't need any with your application, your CCO will tell you what's needed at your first visit. However if you want a head start you will need - complaints procedure, fire plan and policy, confidentiality and child protection. Don't worry, it sounds scarier than it is!

Thankyou...very daunting but i've got a local CM comig on fri to go through things so that will be a big help to get the ball rolling. :)
