The NASUWT is clear that it is appropriate for school to be held to effective account for their work with children and young people.

However, the NASUWT remains concerned about the implications of the current accountability system in place in Northern Ireland, particularly the system of school inspection overseen by the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI).

The Union is committed to campaigning for the introduction of a more effective system of school accountability.
The NASUWT has produced advice and guidance you can use to assess the appropriateness of inspection in your school or setting.

The NASUWT can provide further support and information if you are concerned by any aspect of an inspection you have experienced.

The NASUWT’s action short of strike action instructions are designed to protect you from excessive workload demands associated with inspection.

Further support and advice on using the instructions in your school is available from the NASUWT Northern Ireland Centre on 028 9078 4480 or at rc-nireland@mail.nasuwt.org.uk.
