The revised Ofsted inspection framework is now one year old, but for many providers, what this means in practice is still unclear.
Drawing on FIN’s detailed inspection analysis from our work with over 200 providers, this webinar goes beyond headline changes to explore how inspections are actually being experienced, what inspectors are focusing on, and where provider expectations are not fully aligning with reality.
What to expect
Using real inspection case studies, we will translate these insights into actionable steps for your organisation, highlighting:
- Common weaknesses, noting recurring misconceptions where providers are most at risk
- Examining the reality of the inclusion judgement and how this works in practice
- And, how expectations around data, evidence and management information are evolving.
We are delighted to welcome Kerry Boffey, CEO, Fellowship of Inspection Nominees (FIN) who will explore the gap between perception and reality. Kerry will address everyday fears, challenge common myths, and fully consider whether the framework is delivering on its intended aims around consistency, transparency and proportionality.
In addition, using guidance from provider case studies, this webinar is supported by the team at Bud. The benefits of early intervention will be shared, highlighting how a proactive approach can help maximise learner achievement whilst ensuring audit readiness and operational efficiency.
Who should attend?
The event will offer support and guidance to all those involved in quality assurance and quality improvement within colleges, ITPs, sixth form provision, HE Providers, local authorities and employer provision including:
- Senior leaders
- Quality nominees
- Curriculum managers
- Quality leads
This is not a theoretical overview of the framework; it is a practical, provider-focused session designed to help you understand how your current approach is likely to stand up to inspection, where you may be vulnerable, and the steps you can take to strengthen confidence and readiness over the next 12 months.
