  3. Rationale • SED allows providers to demonstrate how well you evaluate provision • Fundamental purpose : to provide structure and format for data currently collected, and to record existing evaluations • Does not replace the need for Strategic / Improvement Plans • Non-statutory in nature – information presented as annexes, and current data and evidence can remain if fit for purpose • ITT based – L&S sector is developing alongside • Focus on outcomes and impact

  4. Current areas of focus in the SED • Context of provision • Main Priorities for Improvement • Compliance check • Standards Grades • Selection Data • Training and Assessment • Value Added by the Training • Management & Quality Assurance • Overall Effectivness • Capacity to Improve Further

  5. Issues emerging for some providers • Grading of trainees • Availability of trend and historic data • Moderation and validation of evaluation judgements • Selection data and evaluating potential

  6. To support the process • Further discussion at TDA-Ofsted Conferences : December 4 & 6 • Provider views via joint TDA-Ofsted consultation : January-March 2008 • Regional TDA workshops : January 2008 • TDA Data Profile for all providers (by route and phase) • TDA Consultancy – ongoing; specific if requested

  8. Possible discussion points • Is it reasonable to ask for all providers to send their on-going self-evaluation annually? • Is the timing (to fit in with inspection requirements) feasible? • To what extent will existing systems and documentation need refining? • What issues spring to mind – and what additional guidance would be helpful?
