Thank you. I've had a quick look through and it looks like we are to be getting notification by or around midday of the day prior to inspection.

It just all reads more indepth and over my head I might be moving on before our next inspection is due!

 

Has anything been said about whether we are all going 'back into the pot' so to speak; or if we've been 'done' recently can we still breathe?

[Wildflowers]

My understanding is that we have a year before we need to worry again that the SEF is out-of-date. Then starts the next four year period when all of us with be inspected.

This inspection cycle runs until August 2016 then a new one starts. Obviously anyone can have a priority inspection eg following complaints but under normal circumstances you probably won't be visited again in the same cycle. (Unless you get inadequate or RI)
