Inspections will focus on how police, children’s social care, education, youth offending and health services work together to address and prevent serious youth violence, starting in September.
Yvette Stanley, Ofsted’s national director for social care, said: “Serious youth violence has a devastating impact on the lives of children, families and communities. The causes are complex and the joint targeted area inspections (JTAI) framework is well placed to evaluate how different local agencies work together to tackle this critical issue.
“The response to serious youth violence is a developing area of multi-agency work and these inspections will explore the approaches local partnerships are taking. We want to identify practice that is making a real difference to children, and aspects of multi-agency work that need to improve, so that we can share this learning widely.”
