Why Feedback Matters:
Ofsted acknowledges the challenges and criticisms it faces. The past year has been particularly challenging, prompting the launch of the Big Listen initiative. Ofsted is determined to address concerns and alleviate pressures.

How Individuals Can Help:
The Big Listen survey covers a broad spectrum of Ofsted’s work, including schools, teacher training, and early years. Ofsted is keen to hear individuals’ thoughts on reporting, inspection practices, culture, and impact. Participants have the flexibility to focus on areas that resonate with them the most.
