Looking at call to include adjustment of grade (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regarding

'looking at' is the definition.
(regarding is a kind of looking at)

'call to include adjustment of grade' is the wordplay.
'call' becomes 'ring' ('ring' can be a synonym of 'call'**).
'to include' indicates putting letters inside.
'adjustment of' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'grade' anagrammed gives 'egard'.
'ring' going around 'egard' is 'REGARDING'.

(Other definitions for regarding that I've seen before include "Concerned with" , "Seeing" , "Concerning" , "With respect to" , "Thinking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
