Ofsted has sent surveys to social care providers to find out about the experiences of the children, parents, staff and professionals involved
Ofsted has today (Monday 5 February) issued its annual point-in-time online surveys for the following social care providers:
residential special schools
further education colleges with residential provision
children’s homes (includes secure children’s homes and residential special schools registered as children’s homes)
fostering agencies (includes independent fostering agencies and local authority fostering agencies)
adoption agencies (includes voluntary adoption agencies, regional adoption agencies and local authority adoption agencies)
adoption support agencies
residential family centres
boarding schools
supported accommodation
We highly value the responses we receive. They help to both inform future inspections and build a national picture of people’s experiences with their respective providers. We have a blog post explaining how we use the responses.
