Ofsted has today published details of how its inspection of children’s services will be conducted under the new Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA). The frameworks published are the arrangements for the new Ofsted rating for council children’s services and the programme of inspection of safeguarding and looked after children, which includes unannounced inspections of child protection services in every local authority in England. Inspections will begin in June.
The three yearly joint inspections of safeguarding and looked after children, will be carried out by Ofsted inspectors, the Care Quality Commission and as needed Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary. All inspections will contribute to Ofsted’s annual ratings of children’s services in local authorities and the new Comprehensive Area Assessment more widely.
