About this Talk
From April 2023, Ofsted began registering supported accommodation providers for looked after children and care leavers aged 16 and 17, with registration becoming mandatory from October 2023.
With speakers from OFSTED as well as providers, this session will:
- provide an overview of the reasons for regulation of this provision and progress with registration applications so far
- consider the challenges and common issues raised by the process and share tips, advice and lessons learnt
- look ahead to provide insight into the inspections starting in September and how the sector and young people have helped develop the arrangement
