Ofsted has today announced a full programme of sector engagement to be launched in September when the final set of education inspection reforms are published.
The programme of webinars and regional events will continue throughout the autumn term, offering providers a range of opportunities to familiarise themselves with the changes, ahead of inspections under the renewed framework beginning in November.
Ofsted will hold live webinars for different provider types across each education remit, setting out the key changes to inspection. Recordings of each webinar will be available on Ofsted's YouTube channel afterwards.
For the early years sector, there will be separate webinars for childminders; group-based provision; and out-of-school-clubs.
For schools, individual webinars will be hosted for maintained nurseries; primaries; secondaries; non-association independent schools; University Technical Colleges (UTCs); special schools; and alternative provision.
