Ofsted publishes 2009 children's services rating

09 Dec 2009

Ofsted today publishes the outcomes of the new annual children’s services ratings which look at performance in 152 local authorities in England for 2009.

The annual children’s services rating is a wide-ranging and robust assessment of the outcomes for children and young people in every local authority area which is strongly based on the evidence from inspections. The rating provides a picture of services for children in a local area drawn from a wide range of local services and settings. It places an emphasis on the direct observation of professional practice – including inspection of child protection services and safeguarding, childcare, schools, children’s social care and provision in the learning and skills sector.

The new annual children’s services rating provides an overview of each council’s performance in relation to children’s services for which they have strategic or operational responsibilities (either alone or in partnership with other agencies) and the difference they are making to children’s lives.
