IAC is delighted to share the news that the charity has again been judged to be outstanding by Ofsted. The charity, which operates as an international adoption agency was inspected at the end of January this year and is now one of a handful of adoption agencies to have achieved a hat trick of outstanding judgements. The charity was awarded an ‘outstanding’ by an Ofsted inspector for all three inspection judgements: the effectiveness of leaders and managers, how well children, young people and adults are helped and protected and the overall experiences and progress of service users.
As you will no doubt be aware the corona virus is continuing to spread. IAC is following the government’s guidance issued to social care organisations.
