As a senior leader, curriculum manager or programme/subject lead do you know what the Education Inspection Framework (EIF) means for you, your role and your school/college?

There is certainly more emphasis on the curriculums design, implementation and impact for all programmes and provision types that will be under scrutiny. How can you make sure that you are ever ready? How can you prepare your school or college/department/colleagues for inspection?
