Details

This Ofsted survey report is based on inspection evidence from the 19% of all maintained primary, secondary and special schools, residential special schools and pupil referral units inspected between September 2009 and July 2010 where safeguarding had been judged outstanding. It also draws on more detailed analysis of safeguarding practice in a small sample of outstanding schools visited by Her Majesty’s Inspectors.
