ESA 50 & Separate sheets of paper to send [organising to send] was created by CLINTIAN
Hi, I have a number of additional sheets to attach to the ESA 50 form and want to keep things simple, neat and organised for the assessor, after searching the forums I will take the advice of punching holes into the form and additional sheets and attaching all together using a treasury tag, I have a couple of questions to ask
Question 1. As I have separate sheets for a number of answered descriptors should I staple all the sheets that refer to say Q12 awareness of hazards together & then staple together all sheets that refer to Q13. Starting and finishing tasks together then use a treasury tag to keep everything together or just leave everything loose with just a Treasury tag to keep things together?
Question 2. Is it ok to print sheets back-to-back [to save on paperwork and keep things simple]?
Thank you so much for your help,

Hi CLINTIAN
You need to make it as easy as possible for the assessor to read your answer to each question.
It is perfectly OK for you to type your answers and attach them as extra pages to the form, just make sure that each page has your full name and NIN at the top and that they are numbered, we recommend "page X of Y" so that it is easy to see if pages are missing. Make sure you clearly mark on the form where your answers are and on the relevant page that you are answering question X.
I would not split your answers across the form and attached pages, do one or the other for each activity (not question), splitting it risks the second part of your answer not being read. Make sure that each additional page you add can be easily related to the question.
Attach the pages to the back of the form using a staple or make a hole in the top left corner and use a treasury tag, string or ribbon to the form. The pages need to be easily detached so that they can be scanned by the DWP.
As to double sided printing, you take your chances that the operator presses double sided scanning.
