This report was commissioned by Ofsted on behalf of the Care Quality Commission, His Majestys Inspectorate of Constabulary, Fire and Rescue Services and His Majestys Inspectorate of Probation.
Safer London works with and advocates on behalf of children and families who have been impacted by violence and exploitation. We have been pleased to work with Safer London who have, entirely independently from the inspectorates, drawn together this report about the direct experiences of children and families on our behalf and to inform our work.
The children and families who took part in this consultation were different from the children and families involved in the joint targeted area inspections, and the majority lived in different areas from those we inspected. Therefore, the inspections and this consultation work are quite separate but do focus on the same issues of multi-agency work to address serious youth violence.
The consultation provides an important insight into the experiences of children and families.
The views expressed are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily represent the views of Ofsted and the other inspectorates.
Ofsted is publishing the report as a contribution to discussion and debate.
