The new Ofsted inspection framework (2025) reinforces the expectation that all learners must experience a high‑quality, ambitious and inclusive education, with a strengthened focus on how effectively providers meet their statutory duties under the Equality Act 2010. Inspectors will evaluate how well settings remove barriers to learning, particularly for disadvantaged pupils. This includes scrutinising curriculum accessibility, early identification of needs, the effectiveness of support, and how inclusion is embedded in everyday practice. Providers are expected to demonstrate that their approaches not only comply with statutory equality requirements but also actively promote equity, belonging and positive outcomes for every learner.
