Ofsted has today (Monday 29 April) issued its annual point-in-time online surveys for the following social care providers:

• residential special schools
• further education colleges with residential provision
• children’s homes (includes secure children’s homes)
• fostering agencies (includes independent fostering agencies and local authority fostering agencies)
• adoption agencies (includes voluntary adoption agencies and local authority adoption agencies)
• adoption support agencies
• residential family centres
• boarding schools

We highly value the responses we receive. They help to both inform future inspections and build a national picture of people’s experiences with their respective providers.

All surveys will close on Sunday 9 June.
