The watchdog is seeking views on proposed changes to the inspection framework for children’s residential care providers. The consultation covers secure children’s homes, homes providing respite care, refuges, therapeutic homes, homes for children with substance misuse problems and boarding or residential special schools that provide care for the majority of the year.
