Ofsted has sent surveys to social care providers to find out
about the experiences of the children, parents, staff and
professionals involved.
Ofsted has today (Monday 1 February) issued its annual
point-in-time online surveys for the following social care
providers:
- residential special schools
- further education colleges with residential provision
- children’s homes (includes secure children’s homes)
- fostering agencies (includes independent fostering agencies
and local authority fostering agencies)
- adoption agencies (includes voluntary adoption agencies and
local authority adoption agencies)
- adoption support agencies
- residential family centres
- boarding schools
We highly value the responses we receive. They help to both
inform future inspections and build a national picture of
people’s experiences with their respective providers.
All surveys will close on 28 March 2021.
