NASUWT comments on Ofsted inspection consultation
Chris Keates, General Secretary of the NASUWT, the largest teachers’ union, said:
“To hold schools to account on the basis of chat room and internet gossip trivialises public accountability and the work of schools.
“Such a system would be open to abuse and manipulation and, would therefore be an inappropriate and unreliable mechanism for triggering something as serious as inspection.
“The danger is that the inclusion of this suggestion in the consultation will detract from the serious debate needed about the fitness for purpose of the current inspection regime.”
