Introduction
Ofsted inspections can be daunting, especially given the little notice typically provided when an inspection is confirmed. But when it comes to the important topic of safeguarding in schools and other settings, Ofsted inspections don’t need to take you by complete surprise.
The key to being prepared is being proactive and staying on top of monitoring, reporting and evidencing the necessity for any interventions throughout the year. While there isn’t a set list of information or questions that Ofsted will ask in every single inspection, there are some common processes and best practices that will allow you to be as prepared as possible.
What You'll Learn:
Safeguarding Policies & Procedures
Ensuring there is a robust and up-to-date safeguarding policy in place is one of the key requirements in any Ofsted inspection.

There are several areas in which settings will be expected to provide detailed reports along with evidence of recording and monitoring any safeguarding concerns.
Staff Training, Knowledge & Certifications
