Portfolio for legislative and regulatory compliance, commercial knowledge, operational and strategic governance & management in Children's Social Care UK

Changes have been made to Ofsted guidance regarding 18-year-olds

Changes made: Updated the ‘Children’s homes that provide care and accommodation for

adults’ section to include information about individual circumstances where it would be in the

child’s best interest to live in a children’s home after their 18th birthday.

Ofsted has also updated the ‘Guidelines for judging if a home is meeting the ‘wholly or mainly’ definition.’ section added a new paragraph to the ‘Principles to apply where a young adult resides at a children’s home’ section. See Introduction to children’s homes - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
