Ofsted is committed to improving how we engage with stakeholders when we inspect education settings. This includes inspectors talking to them in person on inspection or gathering their views through surveys.

We have commissioned the Behavioural Insights Team to carry out research and cognitive testing to understand how we can best hear from children, learners, parents, carers and provider staff during inspection. The research will help us to understand what enables people to share their views on inspection, and what makes it more challenging.
