Debate

Children in Care: Illegal Accommodation

Contribution

I am not sure if my noble friend sat in on any of the sessions of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, but future regulations will enable a cap on the profits of non-local authority, Ofsted-registered providers of children’s homes. We have to do this carefully and sensibly. I urge all noble Lords to realise that we have an unprecedented number of children and young people coming forward into care. Our focus needs to be on preventing those young people coming into care in the first place.
