sunnyday Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hi all - Here in sunny Kent - we have been given a folder of information entitled 'In an Emergency'. Thought I should read advice re. Pandemic Illness and guess what I found........... Pandemic Illness - Item 3 - 'Owners/managers/supervisors/committees and governing bodies should consider the pandemic issues and infection control in day to day management. For example: *Review existing plans and initiate *Review staffing regularly and have plans in place to manage for possible staff shortages *Suspend all visits or excursions that increase the possibility of exposure to the virus *FORBID NON-ESSENTIAL VISITORS and so on and so on! So you can see where this is leading............... Wonder what would happen - it would hardly be sensible to have Ofsted inspectors trailing from setting to setting would it?!

HappyMaz Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Germ carriers amongst all those little children - defintely part of new infection control procedure! I spot a little niche market here: I have invented a new product called SPLATT-O! Its basically an adult-sized fly swatter with which to beat off an advancing Ofsted inspector as s/he walks down the path towards your setting. Masks are optional, and available in co-ordinating colours. My marketing strapline is:- "SPLATT-O! Keeping the swine at bay!" Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Catchy! I could see that catching on actually! I'm going to be Sir Alan's next Apprentice, don't you know? My LA have sent me the DCSF's flu pandemic advice by email this afternoon - I shall try and read it later and see what it says about unnecessary visitors.

Cait Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I have texted the EYQISP team to tell them (as Sunnyday suggested) that their visit is non-essential - especially in light of the information I got from them yesterday - I'll let you know if there's a follow-up!

Upsy Daisy Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 We could all write to Ofsted telling them to stay away from us and talk to each other instead. Then maybe they could all agree on what they want us to do. Now that would be novel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
