Kennet Care welcomes the changes implemented by Ofsted relating to changes to how providers are judged relating to improve stability for vulnerable children and look forward to working with our regulator in order to see meaningful changes in how homes are judged.
Yvette Stanley (Ofsted National Director for Social Care) has said:
“We will never penalise you for taking on children who have the greatest need in this country. I know that perception exists in some places, but it is not and will never be true…
Of course there may be more notifications, progress may not be linear, “a typical day” may be even more of an abstract concept, but we will take all of that into account.”
More details about this change from April 2025 can be found below:
