Children's community services should always include grandparents and the older generation

Ofsted (the people who inspect children's facilities) has published a good practice example of a community and children's centre in Lancashire. No mention of grandparents though - a whole lot of stuff about building community networks.

My view is that it should be a matter of principle that children's lives should include older people. And a good practice example should show how the community and family resource of the odler generation is being involved in the lives of the young. It's good for the children, the parnetal generation and the older generation.

Think about it, Ofsted.
