Army Foundation College (AFC) Harrogate was inspected using the "Common Inspection Framework" (full title: "The revised Common Inspection Framework for further education and skills 2012: contextualised for use in the inspection of welfare and duty of care in Armed Services' training"). This framework is used for all Ofsted inspections of Welfare and Duty of Care in Defence initial training establishments. A copy of the framework is attached.

The policy on selecting establishments for inspection is set out in Part 1 (Section 3) of the attached Ofsted framework. The Inspection Programme is determined by Ofsted and is not pre-communicated to the Department.
