Review of Quality Training

At the centre of quality assurance of your setting is a regular review by the manager, shared with Ofsted, of the qulaity of services offered.

Putting this significant document together can be a significant endeavour? When is it enough and what is put in? How to examine and analyse it, as well as what criteria Ofsted uses?

This half-day programme aims to offer solutions by emphasising explanation, legislation, SCCIF, sharing of experiences, learning from one another, and examples to back them up.

Expect some group work and the need as a manager, to be innovative and creative!!
