Consultation description
The number of children in care placed in unregulated settings has increased from 2,900 in 2009 to 6,490 in 2020. We want to ensure these placements are of good quality.
This consultation invites views on:
- the key indicators of whether a provider is delivering 바카라 사이트榗are바카라 사이트� or 바카라 사이트榮upport바카라 사이트�
- how best to define this provision in future and whether 바카라 사이트榮upported accommodation for older children바카라 사이트� is the best descriptor
- what the best provision in this sector looks like and therefore what needs to be accounted for in new national standards
- a proposed suite of national standards
- how settings should be regulated by Ofsted
We have also published a separate version of this consultation aimed at children and young people.
