Commentary on Sections Part 1 .Social Care Chapter 1 .Provision of Social Care Services to Children: Restrictions on Profit Section 9 – Restricted children’s services: information contained in the register of service providers
43.Section 9 amends section 38 (register of service providers) of the 2016 Act by inserting new subsection (2A) which introduces new requirements in respect of entries in the register of service providers. The new requirements are that the entry in the register must show whether any of the services are a restricted children’s service, and in the case of a provider of a restricted children’s service the entry in the register must show that the provider’s registration in respect of that service is subject to the requirement in section 6A(1), and that the condition in section 7(3)(aa) is imposed on the provider’s registration in respect of that service. However, these requirements do not apply in respect of the registration of a provider of a restricted children’s service that is not subject to the requirement in section 6A(1) during the transitional period defined in Schedule 1A.
