Guidance on registering a care home for children

Providers in Wales who are considering registering a care home for children are expected to read this national guidance (External link), which has been created by Welsh Government, ourselves and a stakeholder group including the Children’s Commissioning Consortium Cymru and their Young Commissioners.

We commissioned the Children’s Commissioning Consortium Cymru (known as the 4Cs) to seek the views of their Young Commissioners about what makes an excellent quality care home based on their lived experience. 

You can read the guidance on the Welsh Government website (External link).

When considering setting up a care home for children, it is also important to read the Young Commissioners’ Feedback Report (October 2023), which you can find at the bottom of this page.
