1 Joint targeted area inspection, undertaken in November/December 2015.<\/li><\/ul>Following the pilot in November/December 2015, Ofsted intends to conduct up to six Joint Targeted Area Inspections by the summer of 2016.<\/p>
There are 152 local authority children\u2019s services departments. Of these three are rated \u2018outstanding\u2019, 53 are rated \u2018good\u2019, 39<\/del> 36<\/ins> are rated \u2018adequate\u2019, 75<\/del> 39<\/ins> are rated \u2018Requires improvement\u2019 and 21 are rated \u2018Inadequate\u2019. A table that has been attached to this answer sets out the most recent Ofsted rating for each local authority and indicates whether the authority is subject to intervention for its children\u2019s social care services. All local authorities rated as \u2018Inadequate\u2019 are subject to intervention measures.<\/p>"}
