Gofynnodd hefyd a oedd unrhyw risgiau neu ystyriaethau iechyd a diogelwch yr oedd angen i’r tîm wybod amdanynt.
Four weeks before the inspection:
I received written notice ;
This was followed by a telephone call from the inspection co-ordinator (IC);
Arrangements were agreed and she asked me to forward (electronically) key information on the school, my SER and my SIP;
