Dear Members,
Please see a message from Ofsted below:
We know this is a very challenging and uncertain time for ITE partnerships. We plan to publish the new ITE inspection framework in the summer term to give providers as much time as possible to familiarise themselves with it. By then – and through discussions with the DfE – we may be able to clarify when routine ITE inspections will resume. We are in unprecedented times and the situation is developing at pace. We will therefore keep the timing under regular review. We will of course consider all responses to the formal consultation carefully.
