Nominee Training for an Ofsted Inspection

10:00 - 11:30, 12/11/2024

AELP Webinar

Facilitator: Richard Moore, Richard Moore Solutions

 

Overview

Ofsted inspections are back in full swing after the summer break and any new or established provider who has not been inspected within the past two to three years is very likely to have a visit from the inspectors before the end of the 2024/25 contract year and prior to the introduction of a new inspection framework from September 2025 onwards. There will also be some ‘requires improvement’ providers expecting another full inspection after their interim monitoring visit.

This interactive webinar, specifically for training providers, employer providers and local authority providers, will give delegates a succinct but comprehensive overview of what being an Ofsted inspection nominee means at the current time and going forward for the rest of this year.

We will begin by reflecting on your own thoughts and concerns about being an inspection nominee before discussing what the role actually entails and thinking about who is best placed to carry out the function of being a nominee. We will also briefly consider the relatively new role of ‘shadow nominee’.   

We will then look at some of the common pitfalls for providers being inspected which you, as a nominee, will need to be aware of.

We will examine in detail the key parts of the inspection process including what you can realistically do in advance of the inspection, the purpose of the planning meeting telephone call and what the lead inspector is likely to want to know and receive from you in advance of the inspection. We will also discuss what you can realistically do between the call and the inspection itself.

Finally, we will consider your role as the nominee during the inspection itself.

Objectives

This interactive webinar will examine a number of key areas, including:

  • Your own thoughts and concerns on being a nominee;
  • The role and responsibilities of an effective nominee;
  • The key characteristics of an effective nominee;
  • The role of the shadow nominee;
  • Common pitfalls for providers being inspected;
  • What you can realistically do in advance of the inspection;
  • The key parts of the inspection process for a full inspection;
  • The purpose of the planning meeting telephone call and what the lead inspector is likely to want to know;
  • Information the lead inspector may request in advance of the inspection;
  • What you can, and cannot, realistically do between the planning meeting call and the inspection itself;
  • Your role as nominee during the actual inspection.

Target Audience

This webinar is suitable for:

Anyone likely to fulfil the role of provider nominee on an Ofsted inspection of a training provider, employer provider or local authority provider. Please note this webinar is not for anyone who might carry out the nominee role for a college as that has some additional responsibilities which we will not have the time to cover in this session.
