Details

Joint targeted area inspections (JTAIs) include a ‘deep dive’ investigation – an evaluation of children and young people’s experiences. This changes periodically to investigate different themes in detail, in this case, the response to children at risk of, or subject to, sexual abuse in the family environment.

These documents should be read alongside the framework and guidance for the joint inspection of arrangements and services for children in need of help and protection.

All inspection reports for local authorities are published on the Ofsted reports website and search under children’s social care for local authority children’s services.
