Today, we are launching the @Ofstednews report card and renewed education inspection framework.

Our excellent @Ofstednews evaluation team have been working up a range of new measures to measure and improve inspection consistency.
I had the pleasure to work with @VBraeh and @Alex_Ofsted to share our proposals, reported on here in @SchoolsWeek:

New blog from @yvettestanley18 on what inspectors are currently seeing on inspection when it comes to restraint and restrictive practices – and how important it is to have a positive environment for children in care.

This is a hugely important, but too little known-about, part of what we do at Ofsted. But it’s a great example of how brilliant colleagues work tirelessly to keep some of the most vulnerable children in the country safe.
We've published a commentary on the findings from our work investigating suspected unregistered schools since 2016. Read more here: gov.uk/government/publicatio…
I’m very much looking forward to speaking at this conference next month

Last week, we published a report sharing our insights on how #earlyyears practitioners work with babies and toddlers.

Our key insights are: (short thread):
2) The key person role, and relationships are critical in making children feel safe, comfortable and happy, as well as for emotional and social development
3) early years professionals need to be knowledgeable and skilled - in other words, qualifications and experience matters

4) we encourage leaders to support practitioners to correct any misconceptions about practice with babies and toddlers.

ICYMI: earlier this week we published research about how 16 and 17 year olds are supported when they present as homeless: gov.uk/government/publicatio… @YvetteStanley18
Some headlines:
1) Children and young people need more information about their options, including becoming a looked-after child.
2) Only 9% of homeless children and young people surveyed said they had been offered an advocate to help them understand their rights.
