Training and support provided for Offsted inspectors to alleviate stress during inspections
The new Chief Inspector Martin Oliver has announced a delay in inspections to provide training and additional support for Offsted inspectors. Emergency safeguarding inspections will continue, but longer training sessions will be provided to help inspectors identify signs of mental health issues in senior leaders. The move comes after the tragic death of Ruth Perry, and aims to address concerns raised about the manner and impact of inspections on teachers' mental well-being.
