Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 6 February 2023 to Question 129756 on Out-of-School Education: East Sussex, what was the outcome of Ofsted’s attempt to inspect Hope Sussex Community Hub.

Section 97 inspections carried out by Ofsted form part of the inspectorate’s activity to determine if a setting is operating unlawfully. Such activity can lead to criminal prosecutions. It is therefore not appropriate to provide detail in relation to inspections which may lead to criminal prosecutions at a later date.
