UNFOUNDED CHILDMINDER COMPLAINTS

Motion Text

That this House finds unfair the current Ofsted practice of not retrospectively removing from the record unfounded complaints made against childminders prior to 2006; recognises that the failure of Ofsted to do this can have a substantial detrimental effect on the ability of perfectly qualified childminders to gain employment; refuses to accept the finality of Ofsted's decision that the process of retrospectively removing unfounded claims prior to 2006 would be too costly and the work too disproportionate; and calls on Ofsted to remove unfounded retrospective complaints against childminders when a specific request is made to do so.
