Hi Just joined this morning and I am trying to download the care plan in the free downloads section, but I am having trouble opening it

ive tried mircosoft work, office and notepad and nothing seems to open it

which programme do i use to read it

thanks Denise

Hello and welcome.

I think you can only download after 4 posts? It is so the website is more protected from spam and so on.

Anyone correct me if this is incorrect though.

Dana is right - new members cannot open things - it is the system's way of protecting members' work.

Once you have been around a while you will be able to access documents etc.

I hope you are enjoying the forum :D

As above, you have to have basic member access first, there is a section that explains the membership ranks on the main forum page. Oops, just beat me to it Sarah!:)

How long does it take before you can open links x

You made a lot of posts overnight which I have just authorised for you.

All moderators on the forum are volunteers and we are not always here as we are childminders too so sometimes there is a short delay in posts showing.

The system will update your membership some time today (it is out of our control) and links should be available to you later.

Hth :D

To post a thread you need to go to the area of the forum you want to post in and you will see a 'new thread' button.

Hth :D

Thank you x
