1 April 2019 at 12:50 PM Many providers have good practice in promoting British values. But do you have what it takes to be outstanding? How does your practice compare with the ‘best of the best’? What common issues do Inspectors continue to identify?
British Values, inspection 1 April 2019 at 12:38 PM As the summer term approaches, many providers turn their thoughts to the training that staff might need. Have you sorted out your staff training and development plans? Interested in finding out what other colleges are requesting?
19 June 2018 at 01:25 PM Ofsted expect tutors to have the knowledge and confidence to discuss sensitive and controversial issues to help prepare learners for life in Britain’s complex multicultural society.

19 May 2018 at 10:51 AM Equality, diversity and British values continue to feature highly in the April 2018 inspection handbook update. Many organisations have made good progress in integrating and promoting Equality, diversity and British values to help prepare learners as responsible citizens in society. But inspection outcomes show that there are still key challenges for colleges and workplace learning providers. Do you know what these are? And more importantly, what are you doing about them? Interested in finding out what others are doing to tackle these challenges?
British Values, Ofsted 1 December 2017 at 05:22 PM As we hurtle rapidly towards the end of 2017, perhaps now is a good time to reflect back on the year and on our progress in achieving a fair and just society where all are treated with dignity and respect. The awful attacks in Manchester and London, and the tragic Grenfell Tower fire have left an indelible mark. Sexual harassment returned to the headlines following a number of allegations against stars of showbiz and politicians. Trump repeatedly invokes controversy; his latest activity has been to retweet anti-Muslim propaganda by UK’s far-right ‘Britain First’ party. Are there any lessons from all of this for education providers?
