On the 9 November Ofsted set out a renewed approach to education inspection that will give parents better and more detailed information, is fairer on professionals, and – crucially – will help raise standards for all children.
The Ofsted policy was updated on the 7 November. This policy sets out Ofsted’s approach to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults at risk. It applies to all aspects of Ofsted’s work and to everyone working for Ofsted, including permanent and temporary employees, contractors and self-employed contracted inspectors.
Ofsted has a duty to regulate and inspect how effectively providers keep children and adults at risk safe from abuse, neglect and exploitation, in line with statutory guidance.
