The Hidden Implications of Ofsted’s New Education Inspection Framework

Ofsted’s new Education Inspection Framework (EIF) has sparked plenty of discussions – but what does it really mean for training providers in practice?

While the headlines only scratch the surface, the real impact lies in how these changes will shape inspection practice, provider priorities and day-to-day delivery. Understanding the nuances of these implications could give your organisation a vital edge when Ofsted calls next.

Hear from Ofsted expert, Richard Moore and Bud’s Senior Delivery Consultant, Craig Robinson, as they explore what the new EIF really means in practice.

Together, they’ll unpack the less obvious implications of the framework, including:

• How the new ‘secure fit’ grading criteria will raise the bar for providers, moving away from partial success.
• How Ofsted defines inclusion and what challenges and opportunities this presents for providers delivering remote or hybrid learning.
• Why staff wellbeing and mental health are rising on Ofsted’s agenda, potentially increasing the scrutiny of leadership and governance.
• What inspectors expect to see during learning walks and how to showcase impact through your staff and learners naturally.
• Why achievement rates now carry more weight and how they factor into overall judgements.
