We have made three recommendations to help the service continue to improve:
- Strengthen the process for sharing advice and guidance for learners on nonaccredited courses so that they fully understand the progression routes and learning options open to them
- Improve opportunities for learners to use Welsh in their learning
- Ensure that self-evaluation accurately identifies strengths and areas for improvement
Recommendations
- Address the safeguarding concerns raised during the inspection
- Improve the rigour of self-evaluation processes and planning to ensure that all areas for development are identified and fully addressed
- Improve the ways in which tutors can share practice and resources
- Improve support for learners with additional learning needs
Recommendations
In order to bring about the necessary improvements in a timely manner, the institution should:
- improve standards in essential skills;
- increase the number of measurable targets in the essential skills action plan and monitor them effectively;
- improve the focus on impact in strategic planning to enable better evaluation of activity;
- complete the unified SAR and ensure it includes progress against previous recommendations where these are still applicable;
- improve the links between the outcomes of teaching observations and the staff development programme to ensure that the quality of all teaching is at least good; and
- improve the tracking of learners’ progress onto other education, training or employment.
