DfE Early Years Compliance Handbook Updates
This handbook sets out Ofsted’s policy and approach to its compliance and enforcement work for providers who are registered on the Early Years and/or the Childcare Register.
Updates include: changes to the DBS referral process, reflecting the ability to make referrals online; the inclusion of what must be covered in planning regulatory visits; and changes to use of the word ‘investigation’ throughout the Handbook.
