Inspections of local authority children’s services and the new separate judgement for care leavers

From January 2023, inspections of local authority children’s services (ILACS) will include a separate judgement on the experiences and progress of care leavers. In this webinar, Jeremy Gleaden, Senior HMI for social care, discusses our response to the consultation proposing this change and the updated arrangements for ILACS.
