Annex A is one of the first documents Ofsted will review when your inspection begins. It provides inspectors with key information about your service, including children and young people, staffing, safeguarding activity, incidents, complaints, etc.
This is not just a formality. Annex A helps inspectors decide what to focus on, which records to review, and where to direct their questions. A clear and accurate submission can support a more confident inspection experience, while gaps or inconsistencies can quickly raise concerns.
Despite its importance, Annex A is often completed under pressure, without enough clarity or consistency.
Join Our Short Sessions: Simple, Practical, Focused
As part of our Social Care Updates Series, we are delivering two short, practical sessions designed to help you complete Annex A with confidence.
Each session focuses on the specific requirements of your provision, ensuring the guidance is relevant and easy to apply.
What You Will Gain
These sessions are designed to give you clarity and confidence when completing Annex A. You will leave with a better understanding of what inspectors are looking for, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to ensure your submission reflects your service accurately.
The focus is practical, straightforward, and directly linked to inspection expectations.
Who Should Attend
These sessions are ideal for Registered (Service) Managers, Responsible and Nominated Individuals, and anyone involved in inspection preparation, compliance, or quality assurance across children’s homes and supported accommodation.
Book Your Place
If you are preparing for inspection, or simply want to strengthen how your service presents itself to Ofsted, these sessions will provide clear and useful guidance.
