Variation fees may apply if a provider wishes to makes changes after Ofsted has granted registration. We normally charge a major fee, but in some cases this will be a minor fee. We charge a minor fee when:
- the number of places is reduced in children바카라 사이트™s homes or residential family centres
- a children바카라 사이트™s home reduces the range of existing needs (categories) of children cared for
- a voluntary adoption agency or adoption support agency reduces the types of services provided.
You can read guidance about making changes to your conditions of registration.
