This risk assessment is used to ensure that our approach to inspection is proportionate and to focus our efforts where they can have the greatest impact. We will apply the methodology described here for all early career framework (ECF) and national professional qualification (NPQ) inspections, with the exception of initial lead provider monitoring visits (LPMVs), which must take place within the first 12 months of course delivery.

You can find out more about our approach in the early career framework and national professional qualification inspection framework and handbook.

We will update this note annually.
