serious event occurs in relation to a child living in a Children’s Home, has been
updated to reflect revised guidance issued by Ofsted in August 2019. The revised guidance
sought to clarify what is meant by a ‘serious event’ with the aim of reducing
the overall number of notifications made to Ofsted, and in particular reducing the number
of repeat notifications made as a result of submitting additional / updated information.
