Melba Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 One of my new committee members has been asked to provide a health declaration which will cost £90. I know I had to do one as the manager but do committee ever need to? Quote
thumperrabbit Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Never been asked to do that one! Something else that will put committee members off Quote
Melba Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 She has spoken to Ofsted and they say they have no idea why she needs to do it but she still does! 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 She has spoken to Ofsted and they say they have no idea why she needs to do it but she still does! I really should keep out of threads re Committees as I have no experience - however I would ring Ofsted again - I have never heard of this - and saying 'they have no idea why she needs it but she does' is a pretty poor response in my humble 1 Quote
Mouseketeer Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 If you change setting address should everyone connected (staff/committee) redo checks for new address ? Today a CM came in with a letter from Ofsted saying 'they couldn't make decision on her application' due to the setting change of address, she's been a CM since 2010 with an enhanced disclosure' , this is totally random, no idea why it's turned up now, didn't get chance to phone them, but now worrying if we all should have redone them for new address, I had the suitable persons check in new prem, but nothing mentioned about this Quote
Sharky Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 The Health Declaration only ever used to apply to people who were actually going to work with the children so should only apply to staff or committee who work directly with the children. Unless, of course, this is another change they haven't told us about. Quote
thumperrabbit Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 We've never been asked to do a Health Declaration form for any member of staff or committee! 2 Quote
sunnyday Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 We've never been asked to do a Health Declaration form for any member of staff or committee! Nope - nor have we - apart from our own 'in-house' forms....... Why on earth would a simple 'declaration' cost £90.00 :blink: Quote
mrsbat Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 When we re-branded/re-registered as a social enterprise in 2012 it was stipulated that myself and my two deputies had to do a health declaration form (somewhere in ofsted rules etc, can't remember the name of the form now) ours was 'only' £40 each though.......

eyfs1966 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 This rings a bell with me, when a new committee member put themselves in the WRONG category on their EY2. Ask for clarification again 1 Quote
Fredbear Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 £90.00 a time we would be bankrupt. Well I have recently submitted 7 EY2 forms and have not been asked for any health checks for any of them. I would certainly ring again to clarify. 1 Quote
woodlands1997 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 We have just re-registered and are joint managers, we both had to do health declarations, ours were £24 each though so think we got a bargain!!! No experience of committee though sorry x 1 Quote
lashes2508 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 This rings a bell with me, when a new committee member put themselves in the WRONG category on their EY2. Ask for clarification againthink eyfs 1966 may have hit the nail on the head , remember Oftsed are not able to give advice they are only inspectorates ! Call again , clarify and don't think it is at all necessary 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 so need/requirement varies and then price varies too - £24.00, £40.00, £90.00 - I give in 1 Quote
lashes2508 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 The surgery decides the cost I believe as it is they who conduct the health check Quote
sunnyday Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 The surgery decides the cost I believe as it is they who conduct the health check Ahh - right of course - I will climb down from my high horse - could someone give me a hand please...... 1 Quote
lashes2508 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I will help you down sunny day as long as that horse is tied up outside the pub and we can have a drink ! 1 Quote
eyfs1966 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 so how exactly does this health check mullarkey work then for new managers? You tell Ofsted of change and then go for a health check? Are you "the manager" before the health check is done, or after? Quote
woodlands1997 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 We were re registering so are already open and managers known to ofsted so don't know if it's different with a totally new manager? So we've already done the health declaration In the past but they won't cross reference!!! You don't have to physically go for a health check just fill in health declaration form and get docs to sign! Quote
garrison Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Our committee members dont have one if they dont work with the children - OFSTED have never queried it Quote
SazzJ Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Doctor Surgey sets fee for health declaration not ofsted and as far as I am aware (recently completed one in Dec) it's just the nominated person who needs to have one Quote
