Recommendation 34

34 Paragraph: 110

Conduct in-depth review of the complaints process to ensure independent challenge for schools.

Conclusion
The Department for Education and Ofsted should conduct an in-depth review of the complaints process to ensure that there is an efficient and independent process for schools to challenge the findings as well as the conduct of an inspection. In doing so, they should explore the option of setting up an independent body with the powers to investigate inspection judgements through scrutiny of the evidence base.
