I did however get some expert guidance from Greta Thornbory and used some research from Carol Hargreaves which came out in 2006 called 'screen test'. Our OH team decided on a 5 question PEHA form which was agreed did cover the fitness to teach guidance. If you would like a copy I would be happy to send you one. Thanks Michael _____ Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:10:05 +0000 From: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Fitness to Teach To: [log in to unmask] Someone posted a similar query some time back but it seems that response was minimal. So am hoping for some more feedback to my query! We updated our pre employment questionnaires similar to the three questions PEQ recommended by Greta Thornbury et al, but we still use our old 22-questions medical questionnaire for teaching staff, while we consider if the 3-Q PEQ would fit the criteria under Fitness to Teach guidelines. For those who assess teaching staff or any other group of people that deal with vulnerable children , In your opinion would you feel that the above 3 Q PEQ be sufficient to meet all requirements regardless of post (barr thoese who require any form of health surveillance of course)? Looking forward to your response(s). Therona Goldsmith Essex County Council ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
