Latest agency status, from EY Report 2015, Wilshaw this week

[Simona]

Each agency will have its own model mam2three...@home childcare has one thing in common with our : they are both Social Enterprises but how they deliver their agency is up to them

The other common matter is they also offer help to 'Ofsted Registered CM'...same as here but how, why and at what cost?
how will this support not be a conflict of interest?
Who are newly registering cms referred to when they first approach their LA for briefings?

These meetings are usually attended by Sue Robb, head of 4 children who has received a grant for 2015/2016 to push agencies
The other person who attends is Sarah Read...her assistant...we have met both here....all very open and clear.
The push to register quickly to attend is just a con as these meetings are not well attended until they get to our LAs..

I could offer dozens of questions as I did ask several at our meetings
One burning one is why does Ofsted not attend these meetings?
why has there been no inspection of agencies so far?
why the perceived blanket of silence on agencies?
since agencies were supposed to recruit more Cms and raise standards is this still pertinent when cms have raised their quality?

Good luck and thank you for keeping us informed.
