Ofsted are seeking views on how they conduct inspections and quite rightly want to hear from our children and young people with a social worker.
They want to hear what you think about some changes they want to make to the way Ofsted looks at children’s social care.
They want to hear from everyone – whether you’re a child or young person with experience of social care, a parent/carer, a family member, a social care professional, or just interested in how Ofsted checks that services are looking after children and doing everything they should.
There is a full consultation with detailed questions or a single question where you can tell us what you think in general. You’ll be able to choose which is best for you.
Closing date: This consultation closes at 11.59pm on 28 September 2026.
