Abstract

Bridget Penhale and Margaret Flynn Welcome to this second issue of the year. As usual, we initially present some information from recent news sources that link to the world of safeguarding and public interest in this topic. To start this issue, although we have been advised that the end of austerity in the UK is in sight, its impact lives on and is seen in many aspects of society. Where would we be without crisis management and Brexit? Some might imagine that things would be better without these aspects… It was encouraging that during January, Ofsted proposed to overhaul its inspection framework[1]. It will emphasise the quality of young people’s education and address the “off-rolling”– that is the exclusion – of less able pupils to bump up the examination league tables. And, this has been followed by some suggestions and a government consultation proposing that there should be a national register of children who are home-schooled. The apparent intention of such an initiative would be to assist local councils to take action when standards of such educational provision appear to be poor, or if children are identified as at risk in the home setting[2].
