The Government is making important changes to supported accommodation for looked-after children and care leavers aged 16 and 17. This type of accommodation is meant to offer young people aged 16 and 17 somewhere to live that gives them the chance to develop their independence as they prepare for leaving care and starting adult life. We're asking children and young people with experience of care if the new standards cover the right things to make sure that young people are safe where they live and receive the right support.

The number of children currently in unregulated settings has increased from 2,900 in 2009 to 6,050 in 2021. The Government want to ensure these placements are good quality and that young people get the support they need in these settings as they develop their independence in preparation for adult life and leaving the care system. This consultation invites views on: new mandatory quality standards for providers of supported accommodation; the new administrative requirements on providers; how Ofsted registration, inspection and enforcement will work in practice to ensure provider accountability. The regulations will come into effect from spring 2023. (Edited publisher abstract)

This release provides information on children looked after (CLA) in England, including numbers of CLA adopted, care leavers and CLA who were missing. Data is taken from the annual SSDA903 data collection which is collected from local authorities in England. The data shows that in 2022, the number of CLA by local authorities in England rose to 82,170, up 2% on last year and continuing the rise seen in recent years. Both starts and ceasing were up on last year - last year's figures were likely impacted by the pandemic. The number of CLA who were adopted was up 2%; however, this is a modest increase given the decrease of 18% last year due to the pandemic where court cases progressed more slowly or were paused. The number of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) is above pre-pandemic levels - after a 20% decrease last year, the numbers of UASC are up by 34%. In general, health checks were maintained during the pandemic but last year the proportion of CLA having had their teeth checked by a dentist fell substantially to 40%. This has begun to recover - in 2022 70 % of CLA had had their teeth checked by a dentist during the year. (Edited publisher abstract)

These statistics are derived from data collected in the annual Children in Need Census. They provide information on children in need in England, including child protection plans and referrals to and assessments completed by children’s social care services. As well as looking at longer time-series trends, this commentary compares the latest year to 31 March 2022 figures with 2021, which was particularly affected by coronavirus (COVID-19), and 2020 which (mostly) pre-dates the pandemic in England. The data shows that in 2022, compared with 2021, when restrictions on school attendance were in place for parts of the year due to COVID-19, referrals from schools increased, in turn driving the overall rise in referrals. This has likely contributed to the increases seen in the other headline measures. Compared with 2020, which (mostly) pre-dates the pandemic in England, the number of children in need and the associated rate (per 10,000 children) also increased, as did the number of referrals. However, the number of children on protection plans and the associated rate decreased, as did the number of assessments. In 2022 the number of children in need and the associated rate (1 in every 30 children) were the highest since 2018. The number of referrals was the highest since 2019 and the number of referrals from schools was the highest since recording began in 2014. (Edited publisher abstract)

This guidance is designed to explain the Prevent referral process and the statutory responsibilities to keep children, young people and adult learners safe from the risk of extremist ideology or radicalisation; and to prepare designated safeguarding leads (DSLs) to respond effectively and get support for people who may be being exploited by radicalising influences. The Prevent duty requires all education providers 'to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism'. This includes safeguarding children, young people and adult learners from extremist ideologies and radicalisation. Most importantly, providers should consider the needs of children, young people and adult learners at each stage of the safeguarding process. Providers should consider radicalisation concerns in line with their existing safeguarding processes, skills and experience. (Edited publisher abstract)

This guidance is designed to explain the Prevent referral process and the statutory responsibilities to keep children, young people and adult learners safe from the risk of extremist ideology or radicalisation; and to prepare designated safeguarding leads (DSLs) to respond effectively and get support for people who may be being exploited by radicalising influences. To safeguard children, young people and adult learners who are vulnerable to radicalisation, DSLs will need to take a risk-based approach. The DSLs should understand the risk of radicalisation in their area and educational setting. This risk will vary greatly and can change quickly, but nowhere is risk free. The guidance covers: the threat of terrorism; the extremism threat; mixed, unclear or unstable cases; online radicalisation; how children, young people and adult learners become vulnerable to radicalisation; risk factors.

This guidance is designed to explain the Prevent referral process and the statutory responsibilities to keep children, young people and adult learners safe from the risk of extremist ideology or radicalisation; and to prepare designated safeguarding leads (DSLs) to respond effectively and get support for people who may be being exploited by radicalising influences. The guidance is designed to help consider indicators of risk and decide what response is appropriate. These indicators are a guide to help make professional judgements. The levels of risk are: low risk, at risk, medium risk, and high risk. A child, young person or adult learner can move very quickly between the risk categories. Professionals should deal with any escalation of risk immediately and record this in their file. The guide covers: radicalisation risk indicators; risk assessment framework; how to speak to a child, young person or adult learner vulnerable to radicalisation. (Edited publisher abstract)

Information for apprenticeship providers about reasonable adjustments for apprentices with learning difficulties and disabilities. Under section 20 of the Equality Act 2010, education and training providers and other related service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people (which includes people with a learning difficulty) so they are not placed at a substantial disadvantage compared to non-disabled students. Learning support funding is available for apprenticeship providers to make reasonable adjustments to support apprentices who have learning difficulties or disabilities. This guidance outlines: how providers should assess and identify the needs of their apprentices; how to make a claim in line with the apprenticeship funding rules. (Edited publisher abstract)
