This webinar will provide leaders, governors, trustees, teachers and practitioners with an overview and understanding of how Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will jointly inspect local area arrangements for children and young people with SEND from 1 January 2023 onwards. 

On 29 November 2022, Ofsted and the CQC published their new area SEND inspection framework and handbook. The documents set out Ofsted’s inspection principles, guidance and the main judgements that inspectors will make when inspecting area SEND from the beginning of 2023, following a period of consultation which took place during summer 2022. 

This webinar will provide expert insight into the new Ofsted SEND inspection framework and handbook, explore the overarching approach to inspections and outline how inspectors will gather evidence and judge a local area partnership’s arrangements for children and young people with SEND.
