Summary
The Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) is a
non-ministerial government department accountable to Parliament which seeks to
help improve the quality and standards of education and childcare through
independent inspection and regulation.
This Departmental Report
‘Ofsted
- Departmental Report 2006-07’ (Cm. 7117) covers Ofsted's work during the
year 2006-07, as well as giving information on its organisational structure,
expenditure, and performance against Service Delivery Agreement targets.
This is Ofsted's final report, as from April 2007 a new organisation
was established called the Office for Standards in Education, Children's
Services and Skills, which will also be known as Ofsted.
This new body
brings together the work of the Adult Learning Inspectorate, the children's
services responsibilities of the Commission for Social Care Inspection, and the
inspection functions of the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support
Service (Cafcass) from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Court Administration with
the work of the old Ofsted.
