New DFE Statutory Guidance and OFSTED Changes
•www.education.gov.uk/aboutdfe/statutory/g00224078/sure-start-statutory-guidance
•www.ofsted.gov.uk/resources/framework-for-childrens-centre-inspection-april-2013 (page includes links to five further documents.
Sure Start children’s centres statutory guidance
April 2013
• Replaces guidance published October 2010• Statutory duties remain unchanged but there are changes to
how they need to be delivered, incorporating latest thinking on outcomes for children and families and how integrated and partnership working will improve those outcomes
Key points
• clarifies what local authorities and statutory partners must do because it is required by legislation, and what local authorities and partners should do when fulfilling their statutory responsibilities
• focuses on outcomes for children (the core purpose of children’s centres)
• clarifies the duty to secure sufficient children’s centres accessible to all families with young children, and targeted evidence-based interventions for those families in greatest need of support
• promotes the greater involvement of organisations in the running of children’s centres with a track record of supporting families
Some key things to note
• Sure Start-On database – types of inspection• Core Purpose unchanged since 2011 but now
incorporated• Sufficient Children’s Centres – presumption against
closure• Links with partner agencies• Advisory Boards• Safeguarding
Changes to Ofsted framework
• New framework published end of March 2013 and live from April 2013
• New SEF and guidance published April 2013• Additional guidance expected May 2013• Monitoring and support to bring about improvement in
centres judged to ‘require improvement’ from September 2013.
The case for change :
Children's centres perform best when they:–have a detailed understanding of their local community–reach a high proportion of their target population–involve centre users in shaping and delivering services–have strong accountability and performance management systems–have high quality evidence - compelling information about the impact of the centre’s actions on children and families.
• reduced set of judgements (from 20 to four) • introduction of a ‘requires improvement’ grade• mixed remit teams on every inspection to ensure
coverage of centre provision• larger inspection teams and longer inspections for some
types of inspection events• retention of an optional self-evaluation form• retention of up to three days notice of inspection• re-inspection of centres judged to ‘require improvement’.
Overview of key changes:
Changes to the way in which inspections are carried out
• Simultaneous inspection of Centres within a collaboration• Changes to pre-inspection planning• Professional dialogue• Joint observations• Case studies
New Self Evaluation Form
• Minimum amount of detail required to support your judgement
• Intended to be a summary of your much wider self evaluation work
• Should include carefully chosen evidence that demonstrates impact
• Refer closely to grade descriptors and give appropriate reasons for deciding an a grade
