What is the overall strategy for returning to face-to-face inspections?
Throughout the pandemic, inspectors continued to visit children’s homes and other places where children live when a safeguarding response was required. While we’ve mostly been able to assure ourselves of children’s safety virtually, this isn’t a long-term substitute for on-site inspection. It’s important we get back to face-to-face inspections as soon as possible.
