Seeing through a child's eyes: Ofsted announces no notice, unannounced inspections for child protection
31 Jan 2012
Focusing on the child’s journey and experience and looking at what makes the most difference in improving children’s lives, Ofsted is to introduce no notice inspection for child protection services. The new child protection framework, published today, will come into effect in May.
The no notice inspections, carried out over a two-week period, will see a team of experienced inspectors spending the majority of their time talking directly to children and their families about their experiences, as well as front-line social workers and managers. Inspectors will also shadow social workers in their work with children and their families, and observe multi-agency working.
