In a recent Ofsted I have been involved in, the inspectors wanted the CCM to concisely present data and evidence of impact and outcomes for their services. How have other people done this? The inspectors seemed to have something in mind that they were looking for and had obviously encountered before.
In my work with centres, it seems that this is a challenge for many centres to do as data and evidence are often scattered or not fully analysed. I'd love to hear how others have presented data and any top tips you have for getting the message over to Ofsted.

I have been through 4 inspections, 2 under the old framework and a standalone and group inspection under the new framework, all achieved good with outstanding elements and data has been indentified as a strength. I think you need to ensure your data is clear, simple and concise, don't give inspectors too much as they get a bit bamboozeld by it. Ensure you are able to evidance distance travelled over a period of time and have systems in place to track progress, whether thats parents enagement in courses or training, volunteering or into work or engagement with your identified vulnerable groups. Make sure that you are able to evidence the impact of your planned outcomes for each group. We have developed service specifications for each group which details the what, why, how, when and ensures we gather evidance that informs whether we have met or not met the planned outcomes.

Thanks. It seems that your experience confirms my thinking!
It's also good to see that even in the planning stages you are planning for evidence - so many centres have missed out this crucial step which makes finding hard evidence much harder.
