Catholic Schools Inspectorate

The National framework for the inspection of Catholic schools, colleges, and academies.

What we do

In November 2019, the Bishops’ Conference unanimously agreed to a National  Framework for the Inspection of Catholic  Schools, Colleges and Academies. This provided, inter alia, for all inspectors to be accredited, on behalf of every diocesan bishop, in accordance with a nationally agreed protocol approved by the Department of Education and Formation, to inspect in any diocese.
