Consultation on the review of our quality framework for care homes for children and young people and schoolcare accommodation
We have launched a consultation on the review of our quality framework for care homes for children and young people and schoolcare accommodation (special residential schools). As part of the review, we are consulting with a range of interested parties so that everyone with an interest in care homes for children and young people and school care accommodation has the opportunity to share their views on the quality framework. The revised quality framework will be published and used for inspection, improvement, and self-evaluation when consideration of all feedback has taken place. The current quality framework can be accessed here.
If you’re interested in sharing your views, sign up to our consultation platform here.
