uin	133347
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2018 answer text <p>Ofsted has been applying the principle of ‘earned recognition’ across most areas of its remit, with providers judged less than good now receiving more frequent inspections in early years, state-funded schools, further education and children’s social care than has been the case in the past. Ofsted also carries out risk assessments to determine when and whether inspections should take place, and to make a professional judgement on how to act when they receive new information.</p><p> </p><p>In relation to cost recovery, the Department has taken forward regulatory changes in order to increase fees for regulated providers. This was agreed as part of Ofsted’s 2015 Spending Review settlement. The Government has laid regulations to increase fees for the inspection of independent schools, with immediate effect. The structure of fees have also been increased for inspection of social care settings by 10%. This allows Ofsted to recover a greater amount of the inspection cost from providers. The Department will continue to take into account recommendations from the Review when considering future fee increases.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 28/03/2018 16:48:12 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2018 answer text <p>Burdens on smaller regulators were raised in the <em>Regulatory Futures Review</em> with regard to the implementation of the 2016 Enterprise Act’s provisions for independent scrutiny of the impact on business of regulatory changes. The Public Accounts Committee also recommended an approach to assessing impacts (Recommendation 6 of its 2016-17 report on Better Regulation – HC 487). In light of both reports ministers modified the Better Regulation System to make it more proportionate for both departments and regulators as reflected in the <em>Interim Guidance on the Better Regulation</em> <em>Framework</em> published by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on 22 February 2018.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith grouped question UIN 131980 question first answered 28/03/2018 15:57:12 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
