Michael, I'm Secretary of the Local Authority Occupational Health Nurses Group. Would it be possible to send me a copy of your questionaire so I can circulate it amongst the members as I feel we would all benefit since the majority of members look after teaching staff. In my normal job at Nottinghamshire County Council, I'm also looking at this difficult subject at the moment. How did you deal with the requirement in the Fitness to Teach documentation to obtain the previous OH records from local authorities or training school reocrds in the case of NQT staff? Many Thanks Kim 2009/1/29 MICHAEL COCKAYNE <[log in to unmask]> > Hi Therona > > It was me who posed the question initially and you were right, the response > wasn't great.
