Section 80: Combined reports

163.Section 80 allows for the Chief Inspector to combine reports (if he considers it appropriate) in certain cases. For example, he may combine reports where he carries out inspections of compulsorily registered early years provision and compulsorily registered later years provision. This power may be useful where a childminder cares for both young children and older children.
