Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many Ofsted emergency inspections of children's centres were triggered by safeguarding concerns in each year prior to September 2015 for which information is available.
Ofsted is the non-ministerial government department responsible for the inspection of children’s centres where safeguarding concerns are raised.
This is a matter for Her Majesty's Chief Inspector, Amanda Spielman. I have asked her to write to the hon. Member and a copy of her reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
