"From next year (09) Ofsted will be moving to a new and more intensive inspection regime. I am pleased they are making this change and that this is the last Annual Performance Assessment which is primarily desk based. From now on Ofsted will carry out an unannounced annual inspection of safeguarding practice in every local authority and full inspections over a three year period of services for vulnerable children."
