(Note: due to unforeseen circumstances, the event was moved from the 17 February to the 22 March 2021).
ThisÌýwebinar will present the main findings of the study focusing on:Ìý
- the theory of change ofÌýthe four inspectorates of education in the UK
- stakeholders’ views of, and experiences with,Ìýinspections.
Exploring and comparing the inspection regimes in the four countries of the UK is timelyÌýbecause whilst each country has its own system, new inspection frameworks have been recently introduced in England and willÌýshortly be in place in Wales.Ìý
Hence, we need to compare how and under what conditions longstanding and new inspection regimes can lead to change in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
