@Provokedpedagog @jimcuthbertsci @SchoolsWeek 1. Not the hashtag, the 2016 YMCA report of the same title.
2. Give them training then

I'm not suggesting giving them the same authority as Ofsted, it would be a supplementary thing, managed by professionals who would oversee the whole thing.

[Isreal Genius MYP @I_Genius_MYP]

@Provokedpedagog @jimcuthbertsci @SchoolsWeek 1, there were a few reports "IAMWHOLE" was one, and experience from lots of incidents in my area.

2.they would write a report on what their findings are, then a local authority would make final judgement.

3. Would be volunteers primarily, but that is I suppose up to the LA.

@Provokedpedagog @jimcuthbertsci @SchoolsWeek They are all one in the same, youth inspectors check the school is a positive environment, this is a job that should be done by student voice but they are ineffective as they have no power and negative environments are horrifically affecting mental health.It's a combined approach

[Isreal Genius MYP @I_Genius_MYP]

@Provokedpedagog @jimcuthbertsci @SchoolsWeek In schools we learn to pass a test, and the school environment is a huge factor in regards to mental health, the amount of people who self harmed because of their school is huge. Also, student voice is a complete paper tiger. Never do anything as they have no real authority

[Isreal Genius MYP @I_Genius_MYP]

@Provokedpedagog @SchoolsWeek I couldn't see a scenario where giving no say to young people in an institution where they spend 14 years is morally acceptable, or even efficient.

@jimcuthbertsci @Provokedpedagog @SchoolsWeek One of the pastoral people of one of the schools in my area handed out a leaflet with the phone number of the old provider rather than the new one.

[Isreal Genius MYP @I_Genius_MYP]

@Provokedpedagog @jimcuthbertsci @SchoolsWeek The mental health system is a mess, totally agree, inspections when done badly can be detrimental, also agree. However, young people should have influence over our own environment, Ofsted inspects teaching, young people should inspect the environment and culture of the school.

[Isreal Genius MYP @I_Genius_MYP]

@Provokedpedagog @SchoolsWeek Are you referring to youth inspectors as yoot? If so I'm unsure why. Is it a technical term or is it intended to be deprecating? I agree with you on mental health funding but a little inspection does seem to be needed, some schools aren't even aware who the local providers are.

[Isreal Genius MYP @I_Genius_MYP]

@LisaHumphries17 @SchoolsWeek They speak to young people yes, but young people get little say into deciding the questions which is one of the most important parts of scrutiny. I took part in a webinar with Ofsted the other day and even then our contributions to ideas were railroaded

[Isreal Genius MYP @I_Genius_MYP]

@Provokedpedagog @SchoolsWeek That isn't working, mental health is declining heavily among young people and its only going to get worse.

[Isreal Genius MYP @I_Genius_MYP]

@Provokedpedagog @SchoolsWeek Then how would you deal with the issues of ensuring young people are in an environment they are comfortable with and feel like they are having a positive experience?

[Isreal Genius MYP @I_Genius_MYP]

@headstfs @SchoolsWeek I think it would help all involved, schools would know how to make their students more comfortable and happier, students will do better as they are in an environment in which they feel supported. It would definitely be more cooperative than confrontational.

[Isreal Genius MYP @I_Genius_MYP]

@headstfs @SchoolsWeek It would be young people from different schools, given training on how to do the task properly. It wouldn't be about picking on individuals and most students understand why strict teachers are necessary. The issue is adults often miss out on the issues that affect young people.

[Isreal Genius MYP @I_Genius_MYP]

@headstfs @SchoolsWeek Young people inspecting would mainly focus on student experience, something adult inspectors have no experience with on. Ofsted would still handle the technical side of things.
