Management Information Sheet

This is just a reminder that we have a Duty Desk number which provides two services:

• LADO triage service - offering advice to any school or college which has a concern about an adult in a trusted position
• Ofsted inspections - This is the number for all support relating to Ofsted inspections. The LA is notified directly by Ofsted of all maintained school inspections. An adviser is available before and during inspection to support schools. It is also the initial point of contact should an inspector in any school (LA-maintained or academy) indicate that they wish to speak with a representative of the local authority. Sometimes this conversation will be with the duty Adviser but on other occasions he or she might arrange for another more appropriate colleague depending on the circumstances. If the school has a Lead Officer, then they are likely to be closely involved in supporting the school during any inspection.
