Today we say farewell to @PaulBrookerHMI who retires from Ofsted. Over many years Paul has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of children and young people as an HMI and Regional Director for the East of England. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

endorsement (100% on ParentView!), how our team engaged, and the supportive fashion in which @edubizz led the inspection. Can't wait until the official letter is published!

Two of the schools I work with had @Ofstednews visits this week. Both were sensitive and supportive. Leaders welcomed the opportunity to share their journey and felt sincerely listened to.

With our routine inspections suspended, we’ve been matching our staff into supporting roles across education and social care, working closely with local councils to provide support where it’s most needed.

We are also continuing with important regulatory work in early years and social care. Seeing much good work to keep children #safe during #Corvid19UK #Socialcare #earlyyears @GillJonesOfsted @MBrazierHMI @Ofstednews
We’re currently matching our staff into supporting roles within local authorities, social care, education and the wider Civil Service. We are doing this in a coordinated way to target support where it’s most needed. We will say more about this shortly. ow.ly/jzvh50z3oJI

Unprecedented times. Thank you to all those that work in education who will no doubt work through these next steps in the same amazing way they have so far - doing everything they can to keep children and staff safe.

We are putting a hold on all this week’s routine inspections of schools, social care, early years and further education providers.
We are in discussions with the DfE about the longer-term picture. schoolsweek.co.uk/exclusive-…

Sean is talking about schools here because it’s an ASCL conference but the same will apply across all EIF inspections, including EY

Read Sean Harford’s speech: “We will be proactively asking schools and colleges if they want to request a deferral because of coronavirus, and clearly we will look very favourably on all such requests.”
