Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

Before the Minister sits down, may I check with him about the role of the inspectorate? Am I mistaken in what I have been told—that it is simply to check that whatever institution is being inspected is meeting the standards required, or is there also a requirement that it should give advice? Should it ask how this can be done better? Have you thought of trying it this way? Have you looked at what so and so is doing? My understanding is that the inspectorate is not required to do that; it is simply told to judge the institution against the standards and say whether it fails or passes. I should appreciate clarification from the Minister on that point.
