| Stage 2 Self-Assessment Workbook |
This will involve completing a Workbook either by editable digital documentation or paper based and you will need to provide evidence of documentation such as Certificates and/or photos, evidence of items such as hygiene policy, privacy policy, etc. This is the most detailed part of the process. |
