Ofsted's Deputy Chief Inspector, John Goldup gives the first Annual Social Care lecture - includes a best practice report for social workers in child protection
01 Feb 2012
Ofsted’s Deputy Chief Inspector, John Goldup is to deliver Ofsted’s first Annual Social Care Lecture at the London School of Economics today. He will explore the tensions between inspection in social care as a form of bureaucratic burden and inspection as a force for improvement in services for the most vulnerable children needing highly skilled protection and care.
Mr Goldup will argue that this tension can only be resolved if inspection focuses rigorously on those things that make the most difference to children. He will acknowledge that there are areas in which inspection has not always managed to do this, most notably in the inspection of adoption services, but that ultimately the principles of bureaucracy and the principles of effective inspection are fundamentally opposed to each other.
The lecture will be followed by a panel discussion including Anne Marie Carrie, Chief Executive of Barnardo’s, Matt Dunkley, President of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services, and Eileen Munro, Professor of Social Policy who carried out the independent review of child protection commissioned by the Government which reported last year.
