No-notice inspections for welfare provision at boarding and residential special schools as Ofsted introduces a new inspection model
08 Sep 2011
Boarding and residential special schools are to have unannounced, no-notice inspections when welfare is to be inspected separately from education, Ofsted announces today as it introduces a new comprehensive framework for the sector. Previously, these schools were given five days’ notice when boarders’ welfare alone was inspected.
The introduction of no-notice inspections reflects the Munro review of child protection, which recommends that unannounced inspections should apply to the broader remit across all children’s services.
