A look inside

Before the handover 1. List unfinished administrative tasks and their next actions. 2. Give each task a responsible role and a due time. 3. Check outstanding parent enquiries and promised replies. 4. Confirm upcoming tours, changes and the staff member responsible. 5. Record important supplier or premises issues through the appropriate process.
