Changes to Ofsted on 1 April will see it becoming one of the most powerful forces for improvement in the fields of education, children's services and skills.
The new organisation, created by last year's Education Act, will formally be titled the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills. It will remain known as Ofsted.
At least one in three people in England makes use of the services that the organisation will inspect or regulate. It brings together the Adult Learning Inspectorate, the Commission for Social Care Inspection, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Court Administration and the Office of Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Schools. The office of the Children's Rights Director will also be based at the new Ofsted.
