The boss of a 16-year-old independent training provider for vulnerable 14-19-year-olds has said he has no choice but to close the business due to a contract termination following a contested ‘inadequate’ Ofsted outcome.
Derby Skillbuild, an ITP providing vocational training and English and maths to vulnerable learners, lodged numerous complaints with the watchdog over the way its October inspection was conducted.
The provider was downgraded from ‘good’ to ‘inadequate’ in a report published this morning.
This is despite, the provider claims, an Ofsted internal review following several complaints about the inspection process.
