Mr. P?draig Mac Fhlannchadha:

We use the information that is provided by children and young people when we engage with them during inspections via surveys or during meetings to inform out judgments about the overall quality of teaching and learning but in doing so we are considering other sources of evidence such as the observation of teaching and learning, the engagement with other parties in the school such as teachers and school leaders, and so on. The data we gather in the surveys is aggregated and anonymised and then shared with the school so that it can be used-----
