Overview
Devon County Council (DCC) is looking for a team of experienced consultants to conduct a mock inspection of our children's services.

We expect the mock inspection to take place in spring 2017. We would expect the mock inspection to be conducted by a team of 2-3 highly experienced inspectors. Ideally some or all of the inspectors would have experience from having worked as an Ofsted Inspector.
