Shorter Ofsted SEF has any one filled it out yet?

I am currently studying my NVQ level 3 in childcare and have been asked to fill the shorter version of the SEF in.
Has anyone already done one?
Can any one send me a link or a copy to a blank one?
It should be interesting to see how much shorter it is.

Same here - if I'd known there was a shorter version I wouldn't have spent 5 hours doing the one I filled in.

Hi sorry to be the bearer of bad news for you but the supposed 'shorter SEF' is actually still 30 pages long! It is worded a bit differently but not much different really!
Also there is a new set of guidance notes for filling it in and that is also about 30 pages long!
It is on the OFSTED website but i struggled to find it so put it into google and found it that way.
The new one says 'published September 2009' on the front page at the bottom so you will know you have the right one!
Good luck everyone...and if anyone has a good way of filling it in then i would love to know the secrets!
