Ofsted has today (Monday 5 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 and
residential special schools registered as children’s homes)
- fostering agencies (includes independent fostering agencies
and local authority fostering agencies)
- adoption agencies (includes voluntary adoption agencies,
regional adoption agencies and local authority adoption agencies)
- adoption support agencies
- residential family centres
- boarding schools
- supported accommodation
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. We
have a blog
post explaining how we use the responses.
All surveys will close on 24 March 2024.
