Talking Early Years with June O'Sullivan
Talking Early Years: June O'Sullivan and Ofsted (Wendy Ratcliff & Sam Sleeman-Boss)
Getting into your Ofsted Groove!
In this podcast I talk to Wendy Ratcliff and Sam Sleeman-Boss from Ofsted about the Big Listen, refreshed handbooks, new complaints procedure and the research review series and how they are feeling about the Ofsted Academy and the future of Ofsted. While there are some things they cannot answer yet, like how will Ofsted reshape, I am holding them to the promise of a research report on babies especially with the expansion of childcare to include little babies of 9-months-old.
The conclusion of the conversation confirms that we need to continue with our OBC to keep engaged with our regulator so we have a voice in what is often a national debate that only focuses on Ofsted in schools.
The next London OBC is 31st of October, get your ticket here:
