In the meantime, from 15 March 2021, we will carry out new provider monitoring visits ( NPMVs) to new providers that have not yet received a monitoring visit. Full and short inspections will remain suspended for the time being. When the national lockdown came into effect on 5 January 2021, it was necessary to limit inspection activity to progress monitoring visits that could be carried out remotely (while allowing for a face-to-face element where necessary to address particular concerns).įollowing the government’s announcement about the return to on-site education from 8 March and the DfE’s guidance setting out what this means for FE colleges and providers, we have reviewed our face-to-face inspection activity in further education and skills providers. This enabled us to work with leaders and those responsible for governance to understand the impact of COVID-19 and report on this as part of our national research programme. As part of our phased return to routine inspection, we carried out interim visits and monitoring visits to further education and skills providers from 28 September 2020. On 17 March 2020, all routine inspections were suspended due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. Please see Ofsted’s coronavirus (COVID-19) rolling update for the latest news about our inspection activity. This guidance applies to visits conducted before 19 April 2021.
