What we inspect – adult learning in the community



A learner concentrating on a written task in a classroom, making notes during a lesson while other learners work nearby.

This handbook sets out what inspectors need to consider when evaluating the three inspection areas in adult learning in the community partnerships. It explains ‘What we inspect’.  The guidance is essential reading for reporting inspectors and all other members of the inspection team, including the nominee. It may also be useful for providers to support their understanding of the inspection guidance. There is a separate handbook that explains the inspection process and methodology, ‘How we inspect in adult learning in the community partnerships’.

The three inspection areas are set out below:

IA1    Teaching and learning

IA2    Well-being, care, support and guidance

IA3    Leading and improving
