Ofsted has commited to taking a more compassionate approach to inspections within its response to the Coroner's report following the inquest into the death of headteacher Ruth Perry.
Ofsted has pledged to always act with 'professionalism, courtesy, empathy and respect' in response to Her Majesty's Coroner's Prevention of Future Deaths report, published last month.
In its formal response to the report, Ofsted’s chief inspector Sir Martyn Oliver sets out the actions the inspectorate has taken and will take to address the coroner's recommendations.
Published today, the response comes ahead of school inspections being restarted after they were paused for two weeks to allow inspectors to receive mental health training.
