An overhauled complaints procedure, earlier re-visits for schools failed on safeguarding and greater clarity on when inspectors will call have been confirmed by Ofsted as it seeks to respond to fierce criticism.
It follows an outpouring of anger towards the watchdog, which has been brewing since March following news of the death of headteacher Ruth Perry.
Following a meeting with Perry’s family last week, education secretary Gillian Keegan said the government would “take action to offer further support” to school leaders.
She added that she was working to “improve the accountability system”, with some changes “immediate” and others “taking longer”.
