Summary

We're seeking the views of looked after children and care leavers aged 16 and 17 on the proposed new rules for their supported accommodation.

This consultation was held on another website.

This consultation ran from
midday on 5 December 2022 to 11:45pm on 16 January 2023

Consultation description

This consultation is for children and young people with experience of care.

We want to make sure that young people get the help they need in supported accommodation settings, as they develop their independence and get ready for adult life.

Before we bring in the new rules, we want to know:

• what it should feel like to be properly supported while living in high quality accommodation
• if we’ve included the right rules for providers to make sure you’re safe where you live and are offered the right support
• if you think the checks we want Ofsted to make will make sure supported accommodation providers are following the standards and rules

We’ve also published a consultation for the general public.
