Proposal 1: a new judgement for care leavers Ofsted proposes to introduce a separate new judgement within ILACS: \u2018The experiences and progress of care leavers\u2019. The below table outlines the current and proposed judgement structures. Current judgement structure Proposed judgement structure Overall effectiveness \u00a0 The experiences and progress of children who need help and protection \u00a0 The experiences and progress of children in care and care leavers \u00a0 The impact of leaders on social work practice with children and families Overall effectiveness \u00a0 The experiences and progress of children who need help and protection \u00a0 The experiences and progress of children in care \u00a0 The experiences and progress of care leavers \u00a0 The impact of leaders on social work practice with children and families \u00a0 This judgement will be made using the same 4-point scale as for the other judgements: \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Outstanding, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Good, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Requires improvement, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Inadequate. The findings from this judgement will inform the overall effectiveness grade. Inspectors will evaluate the experiences of care leavers and the services they receive using the evaluation criteria as a benchmark. Inspectors will use professional judgement to determine the weight and significance of their findings. A judgement of good will be made if the inspection team concludes that the evidence overall sits most appropriately with a finding of good. This is what is described as the \u2018best fit\u2019. The overall effectiveness judgement will be derived from findings in each of the four other judgement areas. Inspectors will use both evidence and their professional judgement to award the overall effectiveness grade. Proposal 2: Evaluation Criteria Currently, there is an evaluation criterion for a judgement on \u2018the experiences and progress of children in care and care leavers\u2019. Ofsted will separate these evaluation criteria into separate judgements for \u2018children in care\u2019 and \u2018care leavers\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0 Ofsted will propose to review the criteria to ensure they have the right focus on the things that matter most to care leavers. They will: \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Update the criteria in light of statutory guidance for local authorities, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Take account of the government response to the independent review of children\u2019s social care, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Review whether they need to change the evaluation criteria for \u2018the experiences and progress of children in care\u2019 and \u2018the impact of leaders on social work practice with children and families to align with the updated criteria for care leavers. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Take account of feedback during this consultation. Proposal 3: When Ofsted will introduce the new judgement Ofsted proposes to introduce the new care leavers judgement in January 2023. By January 2023, all local authorities will have had at least one ILACS standard or short inspection. By carrying out at least one inspection under the current arrangements, they will have evaluated all local authorities against a consistent framework before making this important change. Ofsted will not introduce the new judgement sooner than January 2023. They want to take the time to carry out a full consultation, review the responses and update their published guidance before introducing the new judgement.
