The NASUWT has produced advice and information for teachers and school leaders on the Ofsted inspection process.

This includes information on the way in which inspection is undertaken, how evidence is used to form inspection judgements and how problems arising during inspection can be addressed.

As a result of the NASUWT’s campaign of industrial action, the Union was able to secure the publication by Ofsted of a myths and facts document.

This document clarifies some important misconceptions about inspection that have been used to justify inappropriate practices in schools.

If you have any concerns about the way in which an inspection has been undertaken or about the way in which the requirements of inspection are being interpreted in your school, it is important to seek advice and guidance from the NASUWT.

Support can be obtained from the NASUWT Member Support Team on 03330 145550 or at advice@mail.nasuwt.org.uk.

The NASUWT has an online reporting tool, Inspect the Inspectors, that you can use to share your experience of inspection.

The Union used this information to inform its engagement with Ofsted about the conduct of inspection. All information shared through the tool is treated in the strictest confidence.
