Can Ofsted ask to look at children's safeguarding files?
I keep safeguarding files on certain children. These contain any notes I might make about small safeguarding concerns which aren't big enough for a referral but may build up to a picture needed later. I also put in there the records of previous injuries eg the ones you fill out when a child arrives with an injury. I just wondered if Ofsted can ask to see these at an inspection. My gut feeling is no - they are 'need to know' notes and would only be used if I wanted to make a safeguarding report but I wasn't sure as they seem to want to have access to everything!
Does anyone know the definitive answer?
