Working Together to Promote Best Practice

The residential special and secure sector provides a diverse range of provision to fulfil the care and learning needs of children. At a recent conference new inspection models, providers of residential education showcased a range of imaginative approaches and practice which was inspiring. This session will build on that previous event and discuss a range of good practice and how inspectorates can work with service providers to promote good practice in residential education.

In this session, we will discuss:-

• Developments in implementing a Curriculum for Excellence

• The range of good practice, including within transitions and the 24 hour curriculum

• Self-evaluation as the starting point for integrated inspection

• Close working relationships between HMIE, Care Commission and providers.
