Joint targeted area inspections to focus on domestic abuse

Ofsted has published updated guidance for inspectors carrying out joint targeted area inspections (JTAIs) of the multi-agency response to children living with domestic abuse in England. Upcoming JTAIs will evaluate local areas’ strategic arrangements for all children, with a specific focus on unborn babies and children aged 0 to 7-years-old. They will look at how children’s welfare is promoted and protected through effective and timely responses to adult victims of domestic abuse – such as through maternity and adult mental health services.
