Take part in the Ofsted Big Listen

Ofsted has launched its ‘Big Listen’ consultation, which is open to all professionals working with children and young people.

The Big Listen seeks views right across Ofsted’s work, from schools and children’s social care to teacher training and early years.

In particular, Ofsted want to explore four areas:

• Reporting – how they report on education and regulatory inspections
• Inspection practice – the shape of education and regulatory inspections,  ways of working and the craft of inspecting
• Culture and purpose – the conduct of Ofsted inspections and the way they work
• Impact – the consequences of Ofsted inspections for children, professionals, institutions and parents’ choices

If you work with children and young people, please take part and share your views.
