That legislative basis is the start of the process, so that the system delivers maximum benefit for children and young people. The Government will work extensively with the sector to ensure that inspection is proportionate and fit for purpose. We will consult on the key elements of the regulations, giving stakeholders a meaningful opportunity to help shape how the inspection system will operate. We will also be assessing the impact of the changes we propose to implement, in the usual way. I can assure my noble friend Lady Morris and the noble Baroness, Lady Morgan, that these will be inspections of trusts, not schools, and making that distinction clear will be part of the work we will undertake. In response to the noble Baroness, Lady Barran: no, it would not be appropriate, therefore, for inspections to be done of single academy trusts.
