Event Details
Everything you need to know to be as well prepared as possible for an Ofsted inspection in 2023/24
Ofsted is currently about one third of the way through its programme of ensuring all providers have a full inspection in the three years between September 2022 and September 2025. So, if you haven’t been inspected since September 2022, the net is slowly closing on you receiving a full inspection in the not too distant future.
This workshop will consider what, at each stage of the ‘learner journey’, you most need to consider to ensure you are well prepared for your next Ofsted inspection. Richard will draw on examples of what he considers to be best practice from the many training providers, employer providers, colleges and local authorities he works with as well as the experiences some of them have had of being inspected by Ofsted recently. Richard will also discuss what inspectors will look for in your leadership and management and how they will examine your safeguarding arrangements.
