Doncaster Children's Services Trust (DSCT) is in the process of reviewing the range of audits it undertakes to evaluate the quality of practice and the impact of services for children, young people and their families.

Audits undertaken range from individual case file audits looking at the quality of social work practice and the contribution of partners; to thematic reviews and observations in settings.

We are also looking to introduce audit practice for early help services.

In addition, our new schedule of audits includes simulated runs of the case file audit and individual and composite reports required by Ofsted when the unannounced inspection is called.

DCST wish to contract with a suitably experienced organisation who will support us in making improvements by training and developing approx.

40 staff across the organisation to undertake high quality audit work.

This will include senior colleagues who will undertake sample audits and moderate the quality of other audits; as well as Team Managers and Advanced Practitioners who will review individual case files on a regular basis.

Any organisation proposing to undertake this contract must have: a) Experience of delivering a service similar in size and scope to this contract b) Substantial experience of working with children's social care c) A thorough understanding of the Ofsted inspection process and the way that Ofsted evaluates the quality of case files.
