Clause 6 - Duty to notify parents of section 5 inspection
Education Bill [Lords]
10:15 am
Mrs Angela Watkinson (Shadow Minister, Education; Upminster, Conservative)
Incorporated in the amendment is a requirement for the chief inspector to make himself available. It certainly is open to the head teacher to arrange a meeting with parents, but the chief inspector may or may not be available to take part in such a meeting, whereas the amendment would make it a requirement on him to be available to parents either during or after the inspection so that they can speak to him personally.
