1. There are three types of ISI inspector:
    • Reporting inspector (RI) who leads the inspection, directs the inspection team and writes the report
    • Team inspector (TI) who is a member of the inspection team, evaluates provision at the school and contributes to the team judgement
    • Associate inspector (AI) who supports the inspection through shadowing the inspection team and may record evidence but does not contribute to the team judgements. An associate inspector will be aspiring to senior leadership in an association school. Each association school can nominate one associate inspector.51
  2. All inspectors will receive initial and regular update training appropriate to their role. Inspectors draw on the experience of the independent school sector and have appropriate specialist knowledge. Following a DBS check, all inspectors must hold a clear enhanced DBS certificate and be a member of the DBS update service.
