Consultation on the integration of the inspections of welfare and education from September 2008
For schools with boarding provision or children’s homes that offer education, Ofsted intends to introduce single inspections which cover both the education and welfare provision. This integrated approach will result in a single inspection report.
To contribute please first read the consultation document. It explains the proposals, the background to the inspections and the advantages of a single inspection and report. The consultation’s questions are included in the document for your reference. The consultation itself is online and the link is below. The consultation closes on 12 June 2008. We will publish the responses by the end of June.

What we do
We inspect and regulate to achieve excellence in the care of children and young people, and in education and skills for learners of all ages.
The new Ofsted brings together the wide experience of four inspectorates to make a greater difference for every child, and for all young people and adult learners, in England. Their educational, economic and social well-being will promote our success as a country.
