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.
