1. Welcome to Tribal Inspections 1.1.
Tribal Tribal offers a range of consulting, support and delivery services focused on improving the delivery of services to the public. In the UK, we work in partnership with a wide range of organisations across the public sector, including: schools, colleges and universities; the NHS and primary care trusts; local authorities and housing associations; central government departments and government agencies; and third sector organisations. We have a depth of expertise in education, health care, financial management, the built environment and other aspects of government, which has made it the partner of choice for over 2,500 government clients in more than 40 countries. Tribal’s success is based on a collaborative approach which focuses on transferring skills and knowledge for the lasting benefit of clients.
1.2.
Tribal inspections introduction We have been the leading and largest provider of inspection services for Ofsted for the last 10 years. In February 2009, Tribal was successful in winning the contract to inspect the Southern region which will maintain Tribal’s position as Ofsted’s largest contractor. Since the start of the Ofsted Section 5 Framework in September 2005 we have inspected over 10,000 schools in the following educational phases: Early years Primary Secondary Special Pupil referral units As of September 2009, we now also inspect: Comprehensive Area Assessment Independent Schools Initial Teacher Education Learning and Skills Additionally, we inspect and re-inspect some 200 or so failing schools each year to a total of around 450 visits. As well as this, we also

undertake subject inspections and thematic surveys for Ofsted which contribute towards the findings in the Chief Inspector’s Annual Report. The award in February 2009 extends this to include independent schools that do not belong to an association, colleges, apprenticeships, adult skills, initial teacher education and childrens centres. The contracts will run from September 2009 until the end of August 2015. They will involve additional inspectors working with HM Inspectorate of Education (HMIE) in a similar way to the current contract. In March 2009 we were also awarded the Early Years inspection contract.

5. Shadow and Sign off Inspection Process 5.1. Introduction To complete your training with Tribal, you are required to complete at least one shadow and sign off inspection. Following a successful sign off inspection with HMI leading, you will be endorsed as a section 5 Additional Inspector.
5.2.
Shadow Inspection The term ‘shadow inspection’ refers to an inspection that takes place within your chosen remit, where you are partnered with an experienced team inspector who acts as your mentor. During this inspection, you will be expected to perform a number of tasks which inspectors are required to carry out under the guidance of the mentor to gain experience of the inspection process. This will be the final stage in your training and will prepare you for your sign off inspection. If you do not successfully pass the second shadow, Tribal will not put you forward for the sign off inspection.
5.3.
Mentor The mentor is required to complete an evaluation form (see Appendix C) highlighting any strengths and development points they observe while on the inspection along with a detailed description of the tasks you complete. When this has been agreed with the lead inspector and Tribal senior management, you will then be required to complete the ‘trainee section’ on the form. Here, you can provide a record of how you felt the inspection went including what you felt you gained from the experience and if you feel you need any help before your sign off inspection. If the mentor and lead inspector feel that you would benefit from another shadow inspection, they will state this in the evaluation form and a second shadow will be scheduled. This will ensure that you are fully prepared and confident for the sign off inspection. There is no appeal, as should the sign off inspection be failed it will result in Key Performance Indicator failure for Tribal and a financial penalty.
11 November 2010

New Inspector Training Day 5-6
5.4.
Sign Off Inspection When the mentor, lead inspector and Tribal senior manager agrees you are ‘ready for sign off’, you will then take part in another inspection, ideally two to four weeks after the shadow. Here, you will be a fully fledged team member, being paid the daily rate for Additional Inspectors and given specific responsibilities to complete while on the inspection. The inspection will be led by one of Her Majesty’s Inspectors (HMI) who will evaluate you at the conclusion of the inspection and judge if your are signed off or not. Once you have completed this process, you will be scheduled for inspections. Therefore, keeping your availability and preferred location information on the portal up to date is very important.
5.5.
Endorsement/Workforce Coordinator Richard O’Reilly is the Endorsement/Workforce Coordinator; he is responsible for the scheduling of the shadow and sign off inspections. Therefore, when the inspections schedule is released, he begins to assign mentors to inspections, contacting you with dates for your inspections as and when they become available. Therefore, it is vital that your portal is up to date so Richard can distinguish which dates you are available along with where you are happy to travel. Should you need to contact Richard regarding any shadow or sign off queries, his details are:

New team inspectors bring a range of knowledge, skills and abilities, but they also need to develop the necessary competences to work as effectively as possible. Procedure to be followed during new inspector training
Trainee team inspectors are asked to complete an ongoing written evaluation throughout the course of emerging strengths and areas where they feel they need more experience. These evaluations will arise from their understanding and performance during the various tasks and discussion within each unit and from activities they undertake between units, such as lesson observation and feedback. These evaluations are intended to help direct the cohort’s self-selected tasks/sessions towards the end of the course, form the basis of individual discussion with the tutor and inform support during the New Team Inspector’s first term of work. These evaluations should be kept in the trainee’s course file, together with copies of work completed during and between units.
The tutor will be asked to comment briefly on the trainee’s self-evaluation at the end of the course and identify, where necessary, aspects of the trainee’s work that will need further support and development as they start their inspection work. The comments and any development points should be based clearly on evidence of the trainee’s work and should be discussed with him/her. Brief written comment from the tutor should be discussed with the trainee before it is copied to others.
