Children's Plan

The answer to my hon. Friend's question is yes, absolutely. We expect Ofsted to be as rigorous in its inspections of children's care homes as in its inspections of schools. We must ensure that where Ofsted highlights failures in provision, we act. One of the more general themes of the children's plan is that we need Ofsted to inspect across schools and children's services, in relation to the range of every child matters objectives and all the measures of well-being, including the way in which schools and children's services work together. That includes looked-after children.
