MOST college staff want Ofsted inspections to be abolished, a damning union study has found.
A poll of more than 1,000 University and College Union (UCU) members in the further education (FE) sector suggests nearly four in five believe the Ofsted term “inadequate” is unacceptable.
Ofsted inspections create a “major health and safety risk” for staff who experience significant levels of stress and anxiety as a result of the process, according to a report from the union.
