Consultation ends: 10/05/10

This is a consultation about the information Ofsted are required to notify to all local authorities in England and Wales when they take specific actions against providers of children's homes, residential family centres, fostering agencies, voluntary adoption agencies and adoption support agencies.

Actions include such things as restricting new admissions to children's homes or residential family centres or cancelling a provider's registration. The consultation asks whether the detail to be provided to local authorities within notification to them is appropriate and whether the circumstances where notifications are made to local authorities are appropriate. 

Further information is available on the Department for Children, Schools and Families website.
