Nominee handbook for Initial Teacher Education - Estyn

Nominee handbook for Initial Teacher Education



This handbook is for nominees who will be the partnership representative on the inspection team during their partnership’s inspection. It aims to provide guidance for senior leaders that will enable them to understand and carry out the role of nominee effectively.


The handbook is in three parts.

  • Part 1: Before the inspection
  • Part 2: During inspection
  • Part 3: After the inspection

It will be helpful for you to have a copy of the Estyn 2022 ‘What We Inspect’ and ‘How We Inspect’ documents to refer to as you go through the nominee handbook. These documents are available on our website. It is very important that you are familiar with them before the inspection.
