Pre-Inspection Preparation
The pre-inspection phase is designed to be supportive and ensures that schools are thoroughly prepared and meet the ISTAS Standard before the on-site inspection takes place. School staff are actively engaged in discussions, given opportunities to clarify their systems, and guided on how to address any identified gaps or weaknesses. This could involve refining existing procedures, developing new documentation, or implementing additional training. The objective is to foster a proactive approach to safety improvement, ensuring that the school has robust systems in place, not just on paper, but in practice. This preparation significantly enhances the likelihood of a successful inspection.
