Ofsted. 3.1 Ofsted inspections have taken place in all four boroughs over the last four years. The Redbridge inspection in 2019 graded the operational practice as outstanding. Ofsted stated, “The EDT service is highly effective, offering a well-supportive service to children and their families out of hours. It is child-focussed, and it is appropriately challenging to other professionals when needed, for example, if a young person is held inappropriately in police custody. The flexibility of the service has been enhanced by a pool of support workers. This ensures that children are accompanied to placements without delay.” 3.2 In June 2022 Redbridge received a focused visit of the front door which included a review of the EDT service. The visit confirmed that a high-quality service has continued to be provided. Ofsted commented that ‘’The out-of-hours service is an integrated part of the front door. It is managed by Redbridge on behalf of three neighbouring boroughs, with discrete arrangements for each borough. The work undertaken out of hours for Redbridge is timely and proportionate to children’s and families’ needs. The information gathered and action taken are quickly relayed to daytime services, ensuring a smooth transition of work into the MASH service.’’ 3.3 Waltham Forest and Barking and Dagenham received an inspection in 2019, with ratings of ‘Good’ and ‘Requires Improvement’ respectively. Ofsted commented that in Waltham Forest “Children and young people receive appropriate support and intervention from an effective out-of-hours emergency duty team service’’ and for Barking and Dagenham ‘’A well-resourced and experienced emergency duty team ensures that effective arrangements are in place and that protective action is taken to safeguard children out-of-hours”. Havering were inspected in 2018 and received an overall rating of Good. The feedback was ‘’children receive appropriate support and interventions from the out-of-hours emergency duty team.”
