Financial info in Scotland

Hi all,
So we're getting down to the nitty gritty and it looks like all we need to pull together is our financial info. I just wondered what adopters in Scotland (I know the rest of the UK have different rules regarding what financial info is needed), did they have to pull together for their application. Our SW has said she just needs a spreadsheet showing our income and expenditure and that's it but that doesn't seem like an awful lot.

That was all we did and our social worker asked to see our wage slips and mortgage statement but didn't photocopy them or anything. She didn't even ask if we had any savings!

We just had a spread sheet with in and out goings, and they took copies of our bank statements and wage slips for the last six months

We gave a list of income and expenditure along with our mortgage statement - that was pretty much it tbh, the just need to know you’ve got things covered.

Thanks so much for the responses. I think as we get closer to panel (We have a date now 😬) I'm becoming convinced something will go wrong or we will be missing some info. We've done 3 spreadsheets, one pre adoption, one post adoption with one wage and one post adoption with 2 wages. I work part time in a primary school so we're hoping I can continue that but want to show we're financially fine if I can't.
