beta This is a new service – your feedback will help us to improve it.

This service is down for essential maintenance

You will be not able to use this service until 9.30am on Monday 28 April 2025.

If you need to use this form, you can wait until Monday when it will be available again.

Waiting until the form is available again on Monday 28 April will not count as a delay in contacting Ofsted. The only exception to this is where a child has died.

Death of a child

If a child has died, you need to tell us by email at sc.notifiables@ofsted.gov.uk.

You must include in your email:

  • details of the incident
  • other people or organisations who have been notified
  • any actions you have taken as a result of the incident
  • your contact details (provider URN; setting name; full address and postcode; contact telephone number)
