Trust Quality Descriptions Published For Sector Feedback

We look at the Trust Quality Descriptions published in draft by the DfE on 24 April 2023 and encourage trust leaders to provide their feedback.

On 24 April 2023, the Department for Education ("DfE") published its Trust Quality Descriptions in draft for sector feedback with the purpose of finalising these in June 2023 and implementation in the autumn. The descriptions were trailered in the Academies Regulatory and Commissioning Review published on 28 March 2023 and build on the five pillars of trust quality originally cited in the Schools White Paper. In this article, we look at the five pillars of trust quality and the purpose of the Trust Quality Descriptions before summarising the descriptions and calling on trust leaders to provide feedback to the DfE to ensure the descriptions are fit-for-purpose.
