We have said that we are — certainly, I am — open-minded on the "name and shame" aspect, but, if directions were given and not followed, a school would inevitably be named in open court through a legal process. I am trying to tease out the benefit of naming a school in the first instance, simply to say, "We have found that you were not in compliance", rather than waiting to see it named in a court process if the school refuses to comply.
