Owen Evans stands confidently at a podium, delivering a presentation to an engaged and attentive large audience.

During the summer of 2024, we travelled across Wales to deliver our Inspection 24 update training to over 600 inspectors in preparation for the new inspection framework launching in September.

The new framework has been developed through ongoing consultation over the course of two years, incorporating insights and experiences from a wide range of stakeholders.

We aim to engage more regularly with providers, to share best practice and support self-improvement systems across education and training communities.

Our roadshow began in the North, where inspectors across a range of sectors joined us in Ewloe on the 25th and 26th June. On 2nd July, we welcomed inspectors in Swansea before we travelled to Cardiff on the 3rd and 4th July for our final event of the series.

His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education and Training in Wales, Owen Evans, shared: “A huge thank you to all involved in the Inspection 24 training roadshow, and thank you once again to all of you who took the time to work with us on the development of our arrangements – responding to consultations, sharing views and trialling inspection pilots.”

We hope you found the update training valuable. As with all new frameworks there’ll no doubt be aspects we can improve so please keep feeding back to us.”
