Ofsted is calling for academics, researchers and practitioners to apply to take part in a new early years forum to debate early years teaching and practice.

The Ofsted Early Years Pedagogy and Practice Forum will meet for the first time this autumn. Ofsted is calling for academics, practitioners and researchers to express their interest in attending the forum to talk about a wide range of early years issues and help shape Ofsted’s policy and priorities.

The forum will meet to talk about early years teaching theory and practice, and to review the kinds of topics that Ofsted will consider in planning its survey programme.

Ofsted is looking for individuals with a track record of early years leadership, who are willing to take part in constructive debate, and be able to present evidence to support their views at the meetings.
