sunnyday Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 You need to register. (I recently got mails from Ofsted about updating my password, so they seem to try to reach out.) Apart from being informed about various changes here and through Ofsted's and our LA's Children's Services' newsletters, I get to know about them by having signed up to receiving news through Nursery World, Daynurseries and Pre-school Learning Alliance. We need to be proactive ourselves... Not really sure who this is aimed at........would imagine that we are all 'proactive' - our keen interest in this forum would indicate that I have registered for updates from Ofsted - twice - sometimes I get them sometimes not! I also follow Ofsted, NW, PLA and others on Twitter :1b I stand by my comment about lack of communication from LA - particularly in a week when I have received emails with reference to other matters :1b 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflowers Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I was just stating the fact that we have to be proactive, seeking out the information we need to do our job,to make sure that we are properly signed up and that we are to several sources of information. LAs don't have the funding they need or prioritise as we would wish them to, so wouldn't rely on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably have to agree to disagree on this one! :1b Have just had a look at emails received from LA this week: a Safeguarding Newsletter, SCAF paperwork, a link to Community Playthings - all very useful - but perhaps news of a new SEF could have been included :rolleyes: Luckily, as you so rightly point out, I don't 'sit back' and wait for info.

lynned55 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Unfortunately since Sept of this year our LA has become a useless mine of non information. Like sunnyday I have twice registered with ofsted but no longer get any info from them. Yes, to an extent I agree with you we do need to be proactive in seeking out new info but a little bit of help now and again from the powers that be wouldn't go amiss. In my (many years!) experience Ofsted have managed to perfect the art of 'moving the goalposts' and not telling us!!

enuffsenuf Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I cannot get to grips with mine.................help!!! Hi Narnia me old mate....I have never been able to access the online system and get nowhere when I ring up about it so I now simply download a hard copy and then send it to them by recorded delivery. In the summer we had our inspection and the inspector commented that they really liked our SEF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
