Is it ok to have one file that has all my contracts in? Each child has their own folder which has 'starting points', obs, art work etc, but should I put their contract in as well or keep them in a 'contracts' folder??

I am in deep s**t with one mindee, he comes once a week every other week
(and has only come twice so far) and I haven't got signed policies/permissions yet, mum keeps forgetting argggh, should I just pretend not to have noticed or should I point it out??

Lady - Thank you for answering my very mundane questions, you've been a great help. Little chance of getting the signed policies tomorrow but you never know, she is on a day off so I could beg her to come over as she doesn't live too far away.

oh soory, xposts

Don't over complicate things tonight, you need a relatively early night

as long as the stuff is to hand, and available for inspection, that's all that matters

the contracts are not of interest to Ofsted, so have them in a file by themselves

wrt permssions etc, you may be pulled up on this, but don't volunteer the information to the inspector, just say, if it's pointed out, - ah yes, I intend to do a home visit tonight to collect the paperwork as parent has forgotten to return it

(any chance that that child is coming tomorrow, ring the parent at the crack of dawn and beg them to bring it?)

good luck

I should also ask - I have a massive folder full of signed policies & permissions, I keep every mindees forms together, is this ok or should they have their own folders, maybe I could put the contracts in. Oh God, if this is the case then I haven't got enough folders!!!!
