All post 16 sector providers that are in receipt of government funding for delivering education and training programmes are required to produce an annual self-assessment report. The purpose of this is to enable the management of the organisation to celebrate good quality provision and to plan effectively to improve areas where further development is needed.

In the past the quality of the self assessment report (SAR) has been judged as part of external inspection carried out by Ofsted and the Adult Learning Inspectorate. This is likely to continue in some form under any changes that are planned for future post 16 inspection regimes and the arrangements that emerge for enabling the self-regulation of the FE system.
