Introducing a separate judgement about care leavers within the inspection of local authority children’s services (ILACS)

We welcome your views on our proposals for a new judgement on the experiences and progress of care leavers within the ILACS framework.

We propose to:

• introduce a separate a new judgement within ILACS: ‘The experiences and progress of care leavers’
• review and update the existing evaluation criteria to ensure that they are relevant and reflect what good looks like for care leavers
• introduce the new judgement after all local authorities have at least one ILACS inspection outcome
