119.This section makes provision about the cancellation of registration of all children’s homes, for to cover the period up to full implementation of Part II of the Act. In particular, it will apply to small homes required to register under the Children Act for the first time by section 40. Registration can be formally cancelled, even if an owner closes the establishment or agency before the cancellation process has been completed. This will ensure that the owner’s record accurately reflects the situation, and they will not be able to open a new home elsewhere without the registration authority being aware of past history.
