The amendment would provide the legislation necessary for Ofsted to inspect academy trusts and is aligned with the legislative approach for school-level inspections. It would provide clarity on the purpose, intent and broad scope of trust inspection in the Bill, with some detailed operational arrangements to be set through regulations. A number of these regulations will be subject to the affirmative procedure, ensuring continued parliamentary scrutiny. The Government will work closely with the sector and stakeholders as we develop the regulations provided for in the amendment.
