The Inspectorate is committed to enhancing the participation of children and young people in our inspection work. As part of this, we have produced a short video for children and young people to explain how we interact and work with them during evaluations. This video looks particularly at the role of children and young people in focus groups as part of inspections in primary and post-primary schools.
