The proposals intend to keep Ofsted's inspection procedures up-to-date in accordance with the government's new draft regulations.
What are the main points? Respondents will be asked for their opinions on whether the views of children and young people themselves should be central to children's home inspections, and whether all children's homes should be subject to a full annual inspection. An interim inspection has also been suggested, which would look at the progress the home has made. Views are also sought on whether all children's home inspections should be unannounced.
