Details

This risk assessment is used to ensure that our approach to inspection is proportionate and to focus our efforts where they can have the greatest impact. We will apply the methodology described here for all initial teacher education (ITE) inspections.

You can find out more about our approach in the ITE inspection framework and handbook.

We will update this note annually.
