Ofsted Online site closes with forms moved to gov.uk
Ofsted has moved its application forms for new services and guidance over to gov.uk, closing the outdated Ofsted Online site.
Ofsted's new pages provide access to all our childcare and early years forms and its social care forms.
They can be used to register, tell Ofsted about changes, report a serious incident or accident, and pay an Ofsted invoice.
Improvements include easier to view information and any browser usability. Guidance for each form now appears on the page, rather than on a separate site, and the application forms have been updated to a step-by-step process.
There is also a more secure method of payment for independent schools, childcare and social care providers to pay their Ofsted invoices.
Ofsted is inviting feedback on the new service through links at the end of each form.
