An apprenticeship and education provider in Hull does not meet safeguarding standards and needs to “rapidly improve [its] oversight”, Ofsted has found.
Inspectors who visited Hull Training and Adult Education (HTAE) also found that “too few” young people achieved English and maths functional skills or GCSEs, although most did gain their vocational qualifications.
But HTAE helped people “develop substantial new knowledge, skills and behaviours”, and the report said, external there was a “highly inclusive atmosphere” for those with high needs.
Hull City Council cabinet member Linda Tock said: “There is clearly the need for improvements to be made, and the team is getting on with that job straightaway.”
During the inspection in June, inspectors found that leaders did not ensure safeguarding concerns were “reported fully and in sufficient detail”.
Leaders also did not respond effectively to “potentially serious concerns that pose risks to learners and apprentices”.
Tock said: “It is important to recognise that a ‘strong standard’ was awarded for provision for learners with high needs, as well as ‘expected standard’ in the majority of other areas.
“We would like to thank our staff, learners, employers and partners for their continued support as we build on these strengths, make improvements and move forward with confidence.”
