Hi
I'm a newbie! Am reading through all the posts getting ideas and slightly nervous now LOL. I'm waiting for a date of my pre erg inspection but want to start getting myself prepared. Just one thing at them moment (I'm sure more will come to me over the next few days) but what is prayers take on plug socket covers? I know I need to include this on my risk assessment if I don't have them, but what do ofsted like? I've seen the reports of how they can be more dangerous yet I'm in two minds as to what to do.

Please can someone advise?
Thanks in advance xxx

I am afraid they are a very grey area.

The website here -

Says that Ofsted have been asked and do not legislate on them.

however many inspectors have an opinion for or against.

In law Ofsted must ensure you are safe so if they are included in your risk assessments you should be ok.

Hth :D
