This question was answered on 5th November 2018
Pupils’ personal development, behaviour and welfare, which includes aspects of mental health, is one of four core graded judgements made as part of Ofsted school inspections. The Department is engaging with Ofsted as it develops proposals for new inspection arrangements. Ofsted intends to consult on its proposals in January 2019.
