Estyn launches new inspection framework

Estyn would like to thank everyone who took the time to contribute their invaluable feedback as part of the consultation process on Estyn’s new inspection framework. After considering all feedback and piloting the framework across all sectors, it is ready to be put into practice from September 2010.

As you may be aware, launch events on 30 June and 1 July for schools, local authorities and post-16 settings will provide more information on the changes to inspection. Places have already been allocated to representatives, but if you are not attending and require further information on any aspect of the framework, please contact Estyn on 02920 446446. Alternatively, visit the Estyn website to download further information, inspection guidance and self-evaluation manuals. http://www.estyn.gov.uk/InspectionGuidance_2010.asp
