The recent introduction of Ofsted’s revised inspection framework has firmly shone the spotlight of inspection onto Inclusion. Although Inclusion has always been considered in an inspection, it was embedded within other aspects of provision; recruitment, participation, equality, diversity or achievement.
Inclusion isn’t about any one single initiative – inspectors want to see how well training providers develop an inclusive culture, how leadership support inclusive education and how learner needs are identified and responded to.
This session aims to develop a providers understanding of Ofsted’s expectations around inclusion and to build confidence in applying inclusive practices across curriculum, teaching, support and leadership.
As part of this session, we will consider:
The expectations of Ofsted
- What they expect to see
- What they have reported so far
- What makes an exceptional judgement?
Strategies for structure and support
- A culture of inclusion
- Practice and policy
- Mechanisms for review
- Measuring and understanding impact
Identifying and recording learner vulnerabilities
- What makes a learner vulnerable?
- What does your data tell you?
- What are your patterns of attendance?
