1
Every inspection must be conducted by a registered inspector or member of the Inspectorate with the assistance of a team (“an inspection team”); and no person may act as a member of an inspection team unless—
a
he is enrolled in the list kept by the Chief Inspector under paragraph 4, or
b
he is a member of the Inspectorate and (if he is not the Chief Inspector) is authorised so to act by the Chief Inspector.
2
It is the duty of the inspector conducting the inspection to ensure that—
a
at least one member of the inspection team is a person—
i
without personal experience in the management of any school or in the provision of education in any school (otherwise than as a governor or in any other voluntary capacity), and
ii
whose primary function on the team is not that of providing financial or business expertise, and
b
no member of the inspection team falls within a category of person prescribed for the purposes of this sub-paragraph.
3
Otherwise, the composition of the inspection team is to be determined by the inspector conducting the inspection, subject (in the case of a registered inspector) to his complying with any condition imposed under section 25(4)(c).
4
Any experience of a kind mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a) which it is reasonable to regard as insignificant, having regard to the purposes of sub-paragraph (2), may be ignored by the inspector conducting the inspection.
5
It is the duty of the inspector conducting the inspection to ensure that no person takes part in an inspection if he has, or has at any time had, any connection with—
a
the school in question,
b
any person who is employed at the school,
c
any person who is a member of the school's governing body, or
d
the proprietor of the school,
of a kind which might reasonably be taken to raise doubts about his ability to act impartially in relation to that school.
