Mock Inspection: Safe

This Mock Inspection Toolkit will assist with understanding Key Question 1 – ‘Is the Service Safe?’ It now incorporates the six KLOEs, HS1, HS2, HS3, HS4, HS5 and HS6. Previously there were five individual mock inspections for this Key Question. This Mock Inspection, therefore, supersedes MIGS02, MIGS03, MIGS04 and MIGS05 which have all been archived.
