Following the completion of our face-to-face Community of Practice events across all 9 regions in England throughout June and July, we are now hosting a series of virtual Regional Community of Practice events. We will host one virtual event for each of the 9 regions during September and at each event we will welcome both local authority colleagues (including commissioners; social work teams; placement teams; quality assurance teams) and provider colleagues to come together in the same virtual space to discuss key issues and experiences and to share learning in relation to the registration process and the implementation of the quality standards.
You can review the FAQ document based on the Q&A session held with Ofsted at the face-to-face Regional Community of Practice events on ours resource hub. This resource provides further insight into inspections, Quality Standards and the registration process.
If you are a provider, in order to get the best out of this event, we recommend that you please download and complete the provider readiness tool and then submit the data here after audit 1. We will use this data to help tailor the sessions.
We kindly request one ticket per person. If multiple colleagues would like to attend, please share the link with them so that they may set themselves up for an account. This will assist us in monitoring our sign ups accurately to ensure a smooth delivery of the event.
This will be a joint event for local authorities and providers from each region, however, to help us aim for a balance of local authority and provider representation, we kindly request that you select the correct registration option to indicate if you are attending as a provider or local authority.
