Summary

Proposed changes to how Ofsted visits further education and skills providers judged to require improvement.

This consultation ran from

Consultation description

Ofsted is seeking your views on proposed changes to inspection visits to further education and skills providers who are judged to require improvement.

We currently carry out support and challenge visits to providers that require improvement, resulting in unpublished letters. We propose instead to carry out a single monitoring visit, which will result in a published report with progress judgements.
