SUMMARY:Inclusion – Responding Effectively to Ofsted’s Expectations
DESCRIPTION: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. \nInclusion 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. \nThis 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. \nAs part of this session\, we will consider: \nThe expectations of Ofsted \n\nWhat they expect to see\nWhat they have reported so far\nWhat makes an exceptional judgement?\n\nStrategies for structure and support \n\nA culture of inclusion\nPractice and policy\nMechanisms for review\nMeasuring and understanding impact\n\nIdentifying and recording learner vulnerabilities \n\nWhat makes a learner vulnerable?\nWhat does your data tell you?\nWhat are your patterns of attendance?
