Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

I shall probably need to come back to the noble Earl with more detail on precisely what happens but this is an inspectorate, not a consultancy. Therefore, he is correct to say that its role is to inspect against standards. But the very nature of the process of inspection means that advice and support will be given. Therefore, I do not think that there is a hard and fast distinction as drawn by the noble Earl. However, I shall write to him with a fuller account of how Ofsted sees the position and I shall encourage the chief inspector to engage directly with him.
