A confidential readiness check against the Ofsted framework and Keeping Children Safe in Education
Work through the evidence questions under each area. Answer honestly, based on what is currently in place and evidenced, not what is planned. As you go, each area is rated Red, Amber or Green, and an overall readiness score builds at the foot of the page. Under the Ofsted framework in force from November 2025, safeguarding is judged met or not met, with no partial pass, so any amber or red area is worth closing before inspection. Nothing you enter leaves your browser: this assessment is not saved, sent or recorded anywhere. When you are finished you can print or save a branded summary to keep.
