Under-16s unregulated placements must be 'eliminated'

Unregulated accommodation is often flats and houses with support workers on site or visiting, but can also be hostels and lodgings or even hotels and holiday parks.

"I am concerned about the number of children under 16 placed in settings that are not registered with Ofsted, so should not be delivering care, and I am certain that you will want to pay immediate and close attention to those placements," Mr Williamson wrote to local authority chief executives. Teenagers in semi-independent care are treated as young adults and expected to do things like open bank accounts, wash clothes and buy food.'Amy', who lived in an unregulated home when she was 17, said the minister's concern was"completely right"."They need to be finding better places to put kids. They're creating more problems for society in the future."
