When your SAR is developed with authenticity and honesty, you are well prepared for enhancing quality in the year ahead, and meeting the Ofsted inspection team should they arrive.
Effective self-assessment (SAR) and quality improvement planning (QIP) is the cornerstone of high impact quality improvement. Yet too often, it falls short because it is perceived as a paper exercise, lacks evaluative content and results in a very long to-do list.
Drawn from SDN and Mesma’s work with over 1,000 apprenticeship providers – and led by a team of quality specialists, this event builds upon the Mesma mantra of ‘no surprises’. The masterclass will be insightful and action-focused, equipping you with the knowledge and tools for better quality improvement and inspection readiness.
This in-depth session will hone your skills in:
- Building a collaborative SAR that accurately reflects the quality of your provision.
- Designing a QIP that helps prioritise where you need to solve problems or build on strengths to enhance provision.
