Joint targeted area inspections (JTAIs) – designed to look at how well local agencies work together to protect children – are now into a fifth year and this month will see the publication of the latest thematic report on child sex abuse within families.
JTAIs are carried out by Ofsted, HMI Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services, HMI Probation and the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Ofsted and partner inspectorates are currently reviewing the process, which typically sees six areas inspected on a different “deep dive” theme.
