Under proposals published today, Ofsted, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC), Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Probation and where appropriate, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons will work together on targeted "integrated" inspections.
The new inspections will run alongside Ofsted's current three-year cycle for its single inspection framework for rating children's services - which was introduced in November 2013 and is due to be completed in November 2016.
The proposals mark the end of a year-long delay in the inspectorates setting out their vision for a multi-agency system, after they were shelved just a few months before they were due to start last summer.
