Why have a Quality Assurance Framework?
- Taking into account the feedback from Ofsted, the quality and consistency of PEPs needs to be improved.
- As the PEP is a shared, multi-agency document, a QA framework ensures there are clear and consistent expectations for all practitioners.
- Ensure consistency and high quality.
- An amber grading doesn't mean that you will not receive funding - case by case basis.
- Gold Standard - identifying and celebrating outstanding practice.
- The Quality Assurance framework has been circulated via email and Teams.
- There is a PEP QA Moderation Group that moderates the Virtual School by sampling some of the PEPs each term.
What is the Aspiration Pathway?
