To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many young people have remained in a children's home beyond the age of 18 under Ofsted's special circumstances provision in each of the last five years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many young people have remained in a children's home beyond the age of 18 under Ofsted's special circumstances provision in each of the last five years.
The Care Standards Act 2000 sets out that children’s homes must be wholly or mainly for children. This means that most of the people who live or stay at a children’s home must be children and young adults aged 18 and above who live or stay at the home must be in the minority. This allows some flexibility for those aged 18 and above to stay in children’s homes while an appropriate adult placement is found to support effective transitions to adulthood.
Information on the number of young people who have remained in a children’s home beyond the age of 18 is not held by either the department or by Ofsted.

Trust inspection will consider how trusts drive educational quality, and how they contribute to an inclusive, collaborative system. Officials in the department and Ofsted are working together, and with the sector, to ensure the system works well and delivers the benefit that we expect including addressing the needs of pupils with special educational needs.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions she has had with Ofsted on publishing expected timescales for determining applications for the registration of supported accommodation providers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions she has had with Ofsted on publishing expected timescales for determining applications for the registration of supported accommodation providers.
Ofsted has seen increasing application volumes across children's social care. As of 31 March 2026, there were 370 ongoing applications from supported accommodation providers, down from 616 in the previous year. The registered supported accommodation sector grew by 37% in the year to 31 March 2026 with available capacity at 24,700 places, far exceeding the 7,520 looked after children living in supported accommodation. Published data does not indicate a lack of registered accommodation in the South West. In March 2026, places in registered providers in this region totalled 1,970.
Ofsted’s updated registration policy makes clear that, due to high demand, it is likely to take several months to reach a decision, with timescales affected by some factors outside Ofsted's control, such as incomplete applications. While Ofsted has introduced a prioritisation policy for new children's home applications, no such policy currently applies to supported accommodation, although this remains under review.
Ofsted registration is essential to ensure the appropriate safeguards and support are in place to keep children safe. Regulations do not require care leavers over the age of 18 to be accommodated in Ofsted regulated provision, though some care leavers will benefit from being in regulated provision. The government recently published a review of early deaths of care experienced young people and are working to deliver a programme of improved support for care leavers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether additional resources have been provided to Ofsted to reduce the backlog of applications for the registration of supported accommodation providers.
