Recommendation 41

41 Paragraph: 132

Undertake research to understand and reduce inspection-related workload pressures on school staff.

Conclusion
The Department and Ofsted must go further than simply ‘myth-busting’: they must undertake a programme of research to fully understand the causes of inspection- related workload pressure and assess what changes would be genuinely helpful in reducing this. The new HMCI should prioritise work in this area as part of his “Big Listen” with the sector.
