Dear Parent/Carer
Re-visit of Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council issued with a written statement of action from Monday 22 November to Wednesday 24 November 2021.
Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will carry out jointly a re-visit of your local area following the previous inspection that took place between Monday 22 November to Wednesday 24 November 2021.
The re-visit will evaluate how effectively leaders have addressed the areas of serious weaknesses detailed in the written statement of action (WSOA).
During the re-visit, Ofsted and CQC inspectors will be keen to hear from as many children and young people and their parents and carers as possible, specifically about the weaknesses identified in the WSOA.
How can local children, young people, parents and carers contribute their views during this local area re-visit?
The inspectors will gather the contributions of parents and families through an online survey. The focus of the online survey will be set by the inspectors and will be based on the WSOA.
Parents and carers can submit their contributions via the online survey using the link provided above.
Details about the local area SEND re-visit will be available on your local authority’s website and distributed through the local area’s Clinical Commissioning Group/s (CCGs).
Information gathered during the re-visit
During this re-visit, inspectors may collect information about children and young people in the area. They may look at local area records, speak to area officers and leaders at educational settings, and speak to children, young people and parents or carers. No names will be recorded, but some of the information collected may identify a particular child, young person or adult. Ofsted and the CQC will use this information to prepare their re-visit outcomes letter, and for the purposes set out in their privacy notices. No information will be published that identifies any individual in the outcomes letter.
Information on Ofsted’s and the CQC’s privacy notices is available on the links below:
While we recognise that many parents and carers may have views on their experience that extend beyond the focus of the WSOA, we would like parents and carers to understand that the focus of the inspectors during the re-visit will only be the serious weaknesses identified at the previous inspection. The re-visit team will consider how well leaders have addressed each of the areas of serious weaknesses detailed in the WSOA. We will not be able to follow up or comment upon individual cases.
Yours sincerely
Mr Steve Shaw
Her Majesty’s Inspector
