Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on its plans to address the findings of Professor Muir’s report on education reform in relation to the inspection of early learning and childcare services.
Answer
The Scottish Government welcomed Professor Muir’s recommendation in relation to the creation of a shared framework for the inspection of early learning and childcare (ELC) to be developed between the education inspectorate and the Care Inspectorate. We have today launched a consultation to seek the sector’s views on current inspection arrangements in ELC and school-age childcare and a proposal for a shared inspection framework. This can be accessed at the consultations page of the Scottish Government’s website until 28 October.
