Abstract

Children’s early education experiences are rarely high quality when changes to policy and practice are knee jerk and made in response to politicised anger and frustration. Changes to education inspection systems deliver when they are grounded in evidence – informed practice. What matters is that the inspection process supports practitioners in schools and settings to find sustainable, safe and effective ways to meet the needs of the children and families that they work with.
