We use online surveys to gather children’s and young people’s views about their experiences of:

  • living in children’s homes (including secure children’s homes)
  • living with foster carers
  • staying at residential special schools, boarding schools and further education residential accommodation

We use the responses along with other information we have, such as previous inspection findings or any concerns, to decide when to inspect and what to focus on when we do.

We have included the accompanying data for all adult responses separately.
