Sean Hartford, Ofsted National Director, has recently blogged on Ofsted's role in inspecting school safeguarding, exploring some common misconceptions.

Ofsted inspectors do not use templates or checklists, or promote specific methods but they do look for evidence that a school is promoting a positive safeguarding culture where children come first.
