Introducing LSW's new
A series of high value one-day events held at Learning
South West’s Bishops Hull House in Taunton (or in-house
at your own organisation) for work-based learning
and college providers in the Further Education & Skills
Sector.
Ofsted’s new Common Inspection Framework and related policy and funding changes will mean that:
• Excellence in teaching and learning is critical
• ‘Outstanding’ providers will enjoy greater flexibility
• Providers formerly considered to be ‘satisfactory’ will be under substantial pressure to improve
In a climate of funding challenges and rapid change in policy and infrastructure, the ability to offer high quality,
cost-effective learning and skills provision has never been more important.
Learning South West is offering focussed and practical sessions over the next few months to enable you as providers to:
• understand in detail the best and the worst of your provision
• understand the ‘what’, ‘how’ and ‘why’ of the factors which contribute to aspects of your provision
being inadequate or mediocre, rather than good or outstanding
• enable your organisation to move towards becoming outstanding across all the dimensions of the
services you provide
The series will begin with an event about readiness for short notice inspection, and move on to focus on specific aspects of outstanding provision.

EVENT POSTPONED: Taking a Positive & Professional Approach to No-Notice Inspection |
Owing to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we have had to defer this event to take account of the changing context and we will therefore not be running the event on 30 May ‘12. This event will address the changes in practice which will enable providers to take short notice inspections in their stride. |
