Ofsted has launched the much-anticipated consultation on proposed changes for FE and Skills inspections.
It follows “The Big Listen”, its largest-ever public consultation, which set out a series of key changes in how it inspects education and skills providers.
We didn’t want to wait for the proposed Ofsted framework changes to take effect before diving into the crucial topic of inclusive practices. A strong approach to inclusion benefits every learner—and every provider.
Under the proposed Ofsted framework, inclusion extends beyond SEND to encompass all disadvantaged and vulnerable learners and apprentices—those facing barriers to learning and well-being. Ofsted wants to see how providers identify these learners, understand their needs, and put effective support in place.
In this free session, we’ll unpack this critical element together, so you leave with confidence in your approach to supporting disadvantaged and vulnerable learners. By strengthening your inclusion strategies, you’ll also be well-prepared to adapt to the proposed framework changes.
With decades of experience in quality assurance and improvement, we take a practical, no-nonsense approach—helping you make sense of the proposals and, more importantly, what they mean in practice.
