Keep staff wellbeing front and centre
Inspection can be a stressful time for everyone, but keep in mind that inspection isn't a test or a judgment on individual members of staff.
Make sure you and your staff know who to go to if someone feels overwhelmed at any point during the inspection process. Use our staff briefing to help your staff feel confident and know what to expect from the inspection.
