Further education and skills employer survey

 

Please tell Ofsted your views about Wirral Metropolitan College.

Note: in November 2025 we updated the survey questions to align with Ofsted’s renewed inspection framework.

What will Ofsted do with my answers?

Inspectors will consider what employers tell us about the provider and use this information during the inspection. Your views help us to understand how well the provider supports learners to achieve, belong and thrive, and how effectively it works in partnership with employers to develop the skills and knowledge that meet business and industry needs.

We may share a summary of responses with the provider to help it reflect and further improve. Survey responses are stored securely for up to six years and may also contribute to Ofsted’s wider publications or research.

Will my information be kept confidential?

Yes. All responses are anonymous. The company managing this survey will collect the IP address of those responding. This will only be used in the unlikely event that there are problems with the validity of the survey responses.

How will my written responses be used?

All comments are shared with the inspection team who will treat the information sensitively. Inspectors do not contact individual respondents, so please do not include personal or contact details in your comments. The information you provide may help inspectors explore areas of evidence during an inspection.

Please do not report urgent issues or complaints about the provider through this survey. Please follow the Department for Education guidance available for this. Any comments on these areas may be shared with other agencies, as required by law.

By taking part, you confirm that:

  • you have read and understood the information on this page
  • you are an employer of a learner at this provider
  • you understand that your responses will remain anonymous unless you include identifying information in your written comments
  • you understand that once your response is submitted, it cannot be withdrawn
