1. In order to facilitate a professional and positive working relationship, we request that school leaders and staff:
    • treat inspectors with professionalism, respect, courtesy and candour
    • ensure any inspection surveys, or other communications with parents and pupils requested by the reporting inspector, are sent out promptly
    • engage with and facilitate the inspection process and enable inspectors to carry out their work in an honest and open way against ISI’s framework and the Standards
    • provide access to evidence that will enable inspectors to evaluate the work of the school fairly and reliably
    • facilitate necessary meetings with proprietors, leaders, staff and pupils
    • work with inspectors to minimise disruption to the normal working school day
    • work with inspectors to minimise anxiety, stress or additional workload for staff
    • ensure the health and safety of inspectors while on school premises
    • maintain regular and productive communication with inspectors
    • raise any concerns promptly with the reporting inspector
    • respect the confidentiality of information about the inspection and inspectors.
  2. If access to inspection evidence is not facilitated, inspectors may reasonably conclude that the Standards are not met.
