Alternative Big Consultation (ABC) to gather responses to Ofsted’s current consultation
The Alternative Big Consultation will ask the same questions as Ofsted's but will ask whether Ofsted's proposals are fit for purpose.
You may be disappointed or suprised that Ofsted has presented just one model of inspection and with a tight deadline, it feels that it is a ‘take it or leave it’ strategy. This survey will allow respondents to consider alternatives which will be made available in a final report.
This survey wishes to see a more collaborative and less confrontational approach being proposed to redress the balance of power/control which currently rests far too heavily with Ofsted.
Please respond to this survey, especially those from the Early Years sector who we were unable to fully include in a previous survey. Please tell your friends and colleagues about it. It only takes a few minutes to complete, unlike the Ofsted one. A link to it is here:
In addition, we encourage everyone to engage with Ofsted’s survey.
The closing date for our survey is 4th April 2025. We hope to publish the findings in early May 2025.
