Commentary on Sections Part 2 –Standards Miscellaneous Section 107: Children’s homes providing secure accommodation
232.This section amends the CSA 2000 so that children’s homes providing secure accommodation will require registration by the CSCI. Previously such combined services had to be registered with the NCSC to operate and with the Secretary of State to provide secure accommodation. Under the provisions in the Act the CSCI took on both the registration role of the NCSC and the Secretary of State’s function of assessing suitability to provide secure accommodation.
