LA Engagement with the Regional Schools Commissioner (RSC), Ofsted and other external bodies The LA has regular meetings with the RSC and a further meeting with the link HMI inspector for Hull. Regular meetings take place with Diocesan representatives. Discussions cover both general school improvement and organisation activity across the area and issues relating to standards, academy brokerage, place planning and safeguarding in individual schools. The LA works constructively with the RSC to share information and consider any action which may be appropriate. External partners, particularly the RSC, often require the input of the LA into decisions regarding national accreditation such as Teaching School or NLE status. The views of the LA are also sought in situations where the RSC is seeking to broker school to school support including re-brokerage of academies, sponsorship of new schools or applications to open Free Schools.
