Updated: A summary of the changes made is on the penultimate page of the framework.
From 2018 Ofsted will use this framework and guidance for most inspections of local authority children’s services (ILACS).
This page includes:
- Ofsted’s framework for the inspection of local authority children’s services
- guidance for local authorities on sharing information with us on an inspection
- ‘Talking to…’ privacy notices for children and young people and their parents/carers that explain why inspectors want to speak with them and what we do with the things they tell us
The Social care compliance handbook sets out the legal background to Ofsted’s social care compliance work and its regulatory powers.
