Follow-up guidance for post-16 providers and inspectors

This document provides guidance on follow-up for all core post-16 inspections, which take place from 26 February 2024.

The guidance identifies the steps that inspection teams will take to help them to undertake follow-up activity.

Post-16 inspectors have one level of follow-up available to them. However, the monitoring activity is flexible and is tailored to best meet the key recommendations identified at the core inspection.

This guidance is flexible, as it needs to be responsive to the wide variety of situations that occur in providers as they improve after core inspections. Estyn reserves the right to adapt the guidance to meet the needs of specific providers.
