Ofsted Inspection of Cafcass announced
Published:
Ofsted has announced that the full inspection of Cafcass has started. The inspection takes place for four weeks in accordance with the published inspection framework.
Inspectors will be working to assess the effectiveness and impact of leadership at Cafcass and the effectiveness of public and private law work. Their overall judgement therefore will pertain to the extent to which the organisation is effectively discharging its statutory function to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in family court proceedings.
Ofsted will publish a report following the inspection and the associated internal assurance processes they have established. We will share this on our website following clearance with Ofsted and our Cafcass Board.
