This document was created to break down the National Minimum Standards into chunks and questions to evaluate your setting, operations and practice. If completed, it can highlight areas for improvement based on the standards that CIW use during inspection. Work through each section, answering each point by allocating either red, amber or green. Red means that you do not currently do it, amber means you are working towards it and green means that you do it all the time. Any areas that are red or amber then become your areas for development. When completing each point, think about how you do it and how you could improve it. This should be used as a working document and reviewed regularly.
