remit (AREA)

From April 2007 Ofsted's remit will be expanded to include the children's services work of the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI), together with the Children and Families Court Advisory and Support Service (CAFCASS) inspection remit of Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Court Administration (HMICA) and the inspection work of the Adult Learning Inspectorate (ALI). The organisation's full title will change to The Office for Standards in Education, Children Services and Skills but it will continue to be known as Ofsted.
