Stakeholder Engagement Strategy 2024-2027

We worked closely with learners, parents, education professionals and inspectors to develop our new inspection framework, Inspecting for the Future (2024-2030). The valuable and honest discussions we had with you helped us to adapt how we work with education and training providers.

We now want to build on these closer relationships to make sure our work continues to support improvement. We need to have a flexible strategy to engage with you, our stakeholders, and make sure our work fits your needs in education and training.

As our new approach to inspection is rolled out in most sectors, we will continue to work with you to refine our plans. We will consult widely, using different methods of communication to reach new and different groups of stakeholders and use your views to help plan our activities and improve our work.

Throughout, we will continue to ensure that learners are at the heart of inspection and our work reflects your expectations. Your confidence and trust in our work is a high priority for us. Building this confidence and trust relies on our clear strategic vision about how our work helps to improve education and training in Wales.

While we work in partnership with others, we will always be an independent voice. This stakeholder engagement strategy helps us to nurture our relationship with you and to listen to your ideas. We use your feedback and insights to improve the way we communicate and deliver our strategic objectives. Read on to see how we listen to, involve and inform you in our work.
