Children’s homes regulations: high expectations and aspirations

We are seeking views on revisions to the Children’s Homes Regulations 2001, comprising:

• new quality standards regulations
• administrative and management regulations
• a guide to the regulations that would replace the current national minimum standards for children’s homes

This consultation applies to:

• providers, managers and staff of children’s residential care services
• local authorities
• social workers
• voluntary sector children’s organisations
• children in care
• care leavers
• representative bodies

An impact assessment on children’s homes quality standards is also available.
