Ofsted publishes inspector training materials
Ofsted has published recordings of inspector training materials, through the new Ofsted Academy.
Their publication follows on from mental health awareness training for all inspectors, delivered by Mental Health First Aid England, which was made available on Ofsted’s YouTube channel earlier this year.
The videos feature sessions from the spring 2024 school inspector conference, including an introduction from Ofsted’s National Director for Education, Lee Owston, as well as inspecting attendance well.
Two more general training recordings from the early autumn term have also been published, which includes inspecting in the best interest of children.
More recordings will be published in the near future.
Ofsted’s Chief Inspector, Sir Martyn Oliver, said: "At the start of my term as His Majesty’s Chief Inspector, I committed to publishing training materials for inspectors through the Ofsted Academy.
"I’m pleased to be publishing this first collection of school inspector training today. I hope that by sharing it in context, and making our training visible, we can really open up Ofsted to those we inspect and regulate."
