Inspections Additional Client Services
Mock inspections
Outcomes UK provides mock inspection services to Local Authorities throughout the UK. With our broad experience and proven approach in executing consultant mock inspections, we have demonstrated the value that these exercises can bring to Local Authorities.
Through our mock inspection services, we have been able to highlight areas for development for clients in order to commence projects to implement or make tactical changes to address service shortfalls which Directors of Children’s Services have found invaluable.
Mock inspections and the Munro review
The Munro review of child protection reinforces that Local Authorities will be increasingly under the spotlight in their accountability for the provision of high quality services to safeguard children and vulnerable adults.
The review highlights a potential policy change to focus on unannounced inspections in order to enable the Local Authority to focus on the delivery of quality services rather than the preparation for announced inspections. Local Authorities are tasked to ensure that any underlying issues around practice, process and risk are identified quickly, and sustainable improvements are made in order to maintain continual positive outcomes.
With Outcomes UK mock inspections, we can help you to prepare for unannounced or announced inspections and offer the valuable feedback that you need.
We are supporting Local Authorities to not only identify where the issues are but also by working alongside we can take them forward in continuing to develop and improve practice performance.
Mock inspections and Ofsted inspections
Designed to mirror existing Ofsted unannounced and announced inspections, Outcomes UK mock inspections use tested and proven audit tools which are tailored to individual Local Authority needs, and in line with inspection requirements.
