Julia Waters said the schools regulator apologised "for the had distress rather than causing my sister's death".

Ms Perry took her life in January after an Ofsted downgraded report her Caversham Primary School in Reading from its highest rating to its lowest over safeguarding concerns.

Her family has demanded change to prevent other teachers from enduring similar "traumatic inspections".
