Introducing Bud’s Enhanced Inclusion & Support Functionality
21 October 2026
│On-demand
│Zoom
As Ofsted places greater emphasis on inclusion, wellbeing and learner support, providers are under increasing pressure to demonstrate not only what support is being delivered, but the impact it's having on learners.
In this webinar, we introduced Bud’s enhanced Inclusion & Support functionality, designed to help providers identify needs and support actions earlier while building a clearer picture of its impact.
Our speakers, Chris Greatorex, Senior Product Owner at Bud and Gemma Hart, Learner Experience Director at Tempdent, went through the functionality, the thinking behind its development and why it matters for providers and learners alike.
Together with Chris, Gemma examined the role of Ofsted's graduated approach (Assess, Plan, Do, Review) and how providers can move beyond identifying learner needs to delivering and evidencing meaningful support.
Watch the webinar to hear:
- Why inclusion, wellbeing and learner support are becoming a greater focus for providers
- The role of the Assess, Plan, Do, Review approach in delivering effective support
- How wellbeing reviews, wellbeing logs, inclusion notes and support plans help identify and record learner needs
- Tempdent’s experience of using the Inclusion & Support capabilities to support learners more effectively
If you’re responsible for learner support, quality, safeguarding, wellbeing or programme delivery, watch on-demand to see the functionality in action. 👉
