HMIe Inspection feedback!

During summer 2007 the service was inspected by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education. Aberdeenshire EPS has successfully met the challenge and has demonstrated high levels of positive impact on children and families and effective contributions to the wider Education Authority. Our consultation model of service delivery and our leadership have been particularly highlighted as some of the service's major strengths. The HMIe report is now published and available.
