Ofsted

Ofsted is the inspectorate for education, children's services and skills in England. Its GOV.UK pages publish inspection and regulatory information for education and care providers, families and other interested readers.

Published information and service routes cover education and skills inspections, children's services and provider and complaint information. Use the inspection or provider route appropriate to the organisation concerned. Ofsted's responsibilities apply to England; the other UK nations have different inspection bodies and qualification arrangements.

For related tasks, Ofsted can be considered alongside Birmingham City Council for waste and recycling, housing and local support and Manchester City Council for council services, resident and business information. These resources cover adjoining parts of the subject; each publishes its own information and handles its own service, access arrangements or applications.
