Planning for your next inspection

Workshop | Register your interest

Many of you are now turning your attention to your next inspection. You’ll need to make sure you and your team are fully prepared.

Built on the success of our consultancy and events, this 2.5 hour online workshop pools Mesma and SDN’s collective experience working with hundreds of education providers. Our workshop is designed specifically to help you prepare for inspection and in the process, support you to identify your organisational strengths and priority areas for improvement. You’ll leave us more confident, with a plan and with a sustainable model for self-assessment and improvement planning.

After the session, you will leave us ready to:

  • Improve your inspection readiness
  • Develop your understanding of the inspection process
  • Clearly articulate evidence-based strengths and weaknesses
  • Implement an effective model of prioritised quality improvement planning

We’ll show you that Ofsted readiness is not a ‘dark art’ and there are tried and tested tools and practices that have helped hundreds of providers to be well prepared and reassured. You’ll also have the chance to share best practice and learning points with other like-minded providers, and the opportunity to book additional consultation.

About your session

The session will be led by Lou Doyle, CEO of Mesma and Senior Strategic Associate SDN. SDN and Mesma are leading experts in apprenticeships.

The SDN team have supported over 5,000 apprenticeship staff, from 1000 organisations, to prepare for the reforms. We’ve also worked closely with over 80 of the trailblazer employer groups, giving us a unique insight into what is required. Mesma are quality assurance experts and provide online software, tools and in-depth support for providers across the country.

“Thank you… you are making such a difference to the sector!”

“Cannot wait to join another class.”

“It was a really informative session with lots of practical information sharing.”
