The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) has launched a new consultation document that proposes a more focused approach to inspection of the further education (FE) and skills system.
Under the new proposals, Ofsted would focus inspections on providers and issues which would have the greatest impact on improving outcomes for learners. The frequency and type of inspection would be guided by the perceived capacity of colleges and other providers to improve.
Most providers will generally have an inspection every four years, but for high performers the time between inspections could be up to six years. If a provider’s performance is weak or faltering, or if a provider is new, they could be inspected more frequently than every four years.
