Pre-inspection briefings

Pre-inspection briefings provide participants with an overview of the inspection process, tips on preparation and understanding the criteria and opportunity to speak to a senior inspector and a member of the Accreditation team.

The briefings consist of:

  • a morning session aimed at first time applicants and staff from accredited centres who will be directly involved for the first time in setting up an inspection. This will focus on Getting ready for an inspection: application, preparation, and documentation. 
  • an afternoon session aimed at both first-time applicants and staff from accredited centres. The focus will be on How to do well in an inspection.   

Questions are welcomed during the briefings and if time permits there is an opportunity for networking.

Briefing costs

The pre-inspection briefings cost:

  • £35 for accredited centres (the afternoon session only)
  • £45 for new applicants (the morning and afternoon session).

Please note that lunch is not provided, only light refreshments.
