What this sheet is for
Turn an inspection report into a dated plan rather than a worry. The evidence column builds the case for a re-visit as each point is put right.
Who it is for
Owners and managers of restaurants, cafes, takeaways, pubs and other food businesses after a food hygiene inspection.
How to use it
- Number each point in the report and copy it in the officer's own words.
- Mark which area it falls under and write the action you will take, with an owner and a due date.
- Keep evidence as each action is done: receipts, photos, updated records or training notes.
- When everything is done, use the plan to list the improvements in any request for a re-visit.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Every point in an inspector's report turned into an action with an owner, a due date and the evidence kept, ready to show at a re-visit or to back up a request for one.
In the officer's words. Copy each point as it is written in the report, then say what you will do about it. Keep evidence as you go: receipts, photos, updated records, training notes. How to ask for a re-visit, appeal or reply to a rating, and the time limits, depend on the scheme where you trade: check the letter and the rules where you are.

Questions
Can we ask for a re-visit or appeal a rating?
In many schemes you can, but the routes, fees and time limits differ from one country and authority to the next. Check the letter that came with the report and the rules where you are; the sheet has lines to record what you sent and when.
Why copy the findings word for word?
Because the action has to answer what the officer actually wrote, not what you remember them saying. It also makes the request for a re-visit easy to check point by point.
