What safeguarding questions did you have at your recent inspection Sarah? x

It's Worthing thinking about if the children you care for do not come from your local authority area. Where I live is at the edge of one LA, so I have had children that come across the border.
If you had a safeguarding concern you would need to contact their children Social Care dept not your own.

I just looked up the details of the neighbouring department, and took a screen shot of the page, and filed it with child's details.

I didn't get asked any as I had mentioned safeguarding and what systems I have in place to prevent/take action numerous times in my sef. She did say in her summary that I had covered safeguarding fully.

I was asked about the different types/signs/what I would do/who I would contact etc

I wrote the blog pre-inspection - I used it as CPD for my partner - we were asked a selection of those questions plus 'what do you need to report to Ofsted?' ...

My answer was 'if you think - I wonder if I need to report it - then you probably do' - the inspector was happy with that :D
