I know exactly what you mean, I always get a sense of relief when I have sent over an assignment as I know its out of my hands until I get the result and feedback.

haha in that case send it. until you do you will never know if you have written enough or too much or if you have missed anything out. Your assessor will give feedback at the end of marking too which is helpful as you go through the course. The more assignments you do the more confidence you get as ...

I have always been le...

Fortunately I Found out about NCRQ On here and I chose that. Its been fab in building my awareness and experience ...

I would get in touch with the auditor in the first instance and get a copy of the audit plan, that way you have an idea of what they will be looking at.

Thank you both,
I'm glad I checked that now as it could have been very embarrassing!

Hi All :wave: I have been trying to find some information relating to occupational accidents and serious injuries based on age group.
