Intended as a staff development guide to support the evaluation of quality across care and education, the aim of this guide (developed by a working group which included senior managers from residential special schools and secure care accommodation, with representatives from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education and the Care Commission) is to provide practical support for evaluating and improving the quality of provision made for children and young people and to promote excellence in residential schools and secure care services. It draws on best practice in monitoring and evaluating across different sectors of education and on best practice in residential special schools and secure care accommodation, aiming to highlight effective ways in which services can fully support vulnerable children and young people. It covers sources of advice and legislation, self-evaluation in the context of residential special school and secure care accommodation services, the framework for self-evaluation and gathering the evidence, and includes case studies and a toolkit entitled Aiming high through developing a culture of reflection within your service. It builds on advice given in the third edition of How good is our school?, and is intended to be read in conjunction with that.
