In 2013, I set up the Ofsted Big Conversation #OBC because I was so dismayed at how our relationship had deteriorated with our regulator. I was beyond angry at what was happening and I was prepared to stand up and make this public. I touched a nerve and the sector responded. Overnight colleagues across England set up their own OBCs and they continue to this day. To their credit, the Ofsted management responded and Ofsted representatives stepped up and opened up a channel of conversation. Since then, things have improved, and the Regional Inspectors and relevant colleagues have regularly attended OBCs across the country. However, I have always urged against complacency. We continually face trials and tribulations. We are the Early Years sector; our middle name is torment! Therefore, we need to continue to support our local #OBC. The London OBC is happening on the 13th October and we want to see you there!Chair: Dr. June O’Sullivan, Chief Executive, The London Early Years FoundationOfsted Reps: TBCIf you have any particular topics you would like covered, send June a message on LinkedIn with your request: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juneosullivan/ Tickets are limited and will only be available until the 10th October, so get yours now to make sure you don't miss out on the opportunity to meet and chat with June and the Ofsted reps LIVE!
