We're seeking views to exempt some providers of adoption support services from the Ofsted registration requirement.
Most adoption support service providers must register with Ofsted as Adoption Support Agencies (ASAs), which brings safeguarding and service quality protection.
However, the Department for Education believes that aspects of this requirement are not working in practice.
We propose to amend the Adoption Support Services Regulation 2005 and the Adoption Support Agency (England) and Adoption Agencies (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2005 to simplify arrangements for providers and increase accessibility of these support services.
