CYP Now - Ofsted has a big conversation with the London OBC

One of the few benefits of Covid-19 was that we learned that we could manage big meetings using technology and there was less reason for people to complain about not being able to attend due to timing, venue or cost.

Therefore, we have continued to host the Ofsted Big Conversation (#OBC) on Zoom. No excuse for those reluctant to establish their local OBC! Only a very foolish or arrogant sector would reject the opportunity to work closely with their regulator and have a line to participate in change and improvement even if it takes a long time and can feel like pulling teeth.

At this meeting we had two HMI guests, Penny Fisher who works in the Regional Team covering London and Wendy Ratcliff, who is in the Policy Team.

Wendy opened the meeting with a very comprehensive set of slides (attached). Her message was all about inspections; she pointed us to the new revised Ofsted information on EIF inspections that was published on the 22nd of July 2021.
