What does it mean? Regulation 33 is a term under the Children's Homes Regulations 2001, which requires a children's home to be visited at least once a month by a registered provider, to ensure it is a safe and suitable place for children to live.
The regulation states that the visitor must not be in charge of the day-to-day running of the home and is appointed by the authority providing the residential care.
Visits may be unannounced and the person carrying them out can talk to the children living in the home, their parents, relatives and people working at the home if necessary, in order to form an opinion of the standard of care provided.
