The new initiative will see four inspectorates – Ofsted, the Care Quality Commission, HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and HM Inspectorate of Probation – working together.
From February, the four bodies will jointly assess how local authorities, police, health, probation and youth offending services are working together in an area to identify, support and protect vulnerable children.
The first full inspections – entitled Joint Targeted Area Inspections of services for vulnerable children and young people – are to be completed by this summer. These are to focus on children missing from the school system, care and from home as well as those at risk of sexual exploitation.
