Both the Care Inspectorate and Education Scotland HM Inspectors would like to invite childminders to attend our online engagement session.
This session will provide you with the opportunity to:
- See a live demonstration and engage directly with the digital version of the framework
- Hear about the pilot phase and what to expect
- Explore our current methodologies and share your views on what works well on inspection and what you would like to see changed
- Connect directly with inspectors from the Care Inspectorate and Education Scotland to understand how the framework will be used on inspections
- Ask questions you might have about the framework, its application, or how it will support the sector's goals for improvement. We welcome your queries, whether they are about the framework's practical use, the inspection process, next steps or how it aligns with your setting’s needs
We hope that you will welcome this opportunity to engage with inspectors to become familiar with the new framework and support self-evaluation.
We will continue to use our existing frameworks and approaches for inspection while the new approaches are developed, ahead of implementation in September 2025. The 18-month gap between Education Scotland and Care Inspectorate inspections will also remain in place.
Thank you for your continued dedication to providing the best possible learning environments for children. We very much value your continued engagement with us as we develop the new framework.
We look forward to having you join us.
