Hi All

I have just returned from a weekend of camping and had some really good fun, too much though for my back and I have just returned from the Drs with really strong pain killers after being told by the chiropractor that I have twisted hips and pelvis and a lovely curve in my spine and I can hardly walk:(

Not after sympathy although gratefully received lol. Thankfully I have booked this week to be without mindees but thought that I read somewhere that I have to notify Ofsted of the pain killers that I am.

As I am not working this week, do I still have to tell them as I am hoping by Monday I won't be taking them anymore, although I have to go back for more manipulation on my back

Confused and a bit high on pain killers so any advice greatfully received xx

I wouldn't have thought you would have to tell them. I'm sure that unless it's something which might affect you doing your job properly then they don't need to know. As you haven't got any mindees this week I wouldn't worry.
Maybe someone with more info will be along soon.

I think you only have to notify them of anything that would make you unfit to work with the children. I don't think Ofsted need to know every medication we take and as you are off work anyway I wouldn't call them.
