Detail of outcome
This is a report on the outcomes of the consultation on the proposals for a new judgement on the experiences and progress of care leavers within the ILACS framework.
In summary, we will:
- start to make a graded judgement on ‘the experiences and progress of care leavers’ on ILACS standard and short inspections from January 2023
- use the evaluation criteria for this judgement to inform focused visits looking at the experiences and progress of care leavers carried out from January 2023
- review the implementation of the changes by the end of 2023 and amend the framework if necessary.
No amendments were made to the equalities impact assessment.
