If you're looking for guidance on conducting your own research on the views of parents and carers, see our parent/carer survey pack.
Ofsted gathers parent/carer feedback via Parent View
The information collected through Parent View can be used to inform Ofsted's decisions about when to inspect a school, and discussions with school leaders during an inspection.
You'll be asked to invite parents/carers to complete the Parent View survey as part of an inspection. However, parents/carers can also complete the survey at any other time.
Ofsted’s obligations are set out in the ‘Engaging with parents’ section of the School inspection operating guide.
