Overview

The Department for Education is seeking your views on professional registration, and existing approaches to regulating the children’s homes workforce.

Why your views matter

This call for evidence welcomes views on establishing professional registration for people in care roles in children’s homes, and existing approaches to regulating the children’s homes workforce.


Responses will be used to inform the Department’s thinking on where improvements could be made to ensure children in children’s homes receive high quality care in a safe environment.

 

What happens next
