Safeguarding Children and Young People in Domiciliary Care (England) Policy

Introduction

This policy is produced for care services that are CQC-registered to provide care and support to children and young people under the age of 18 years in their own homes or who might be in supported living accommodation. It applies also to domiciliary care providers that are registered to provide services for adults over 18 years old, besides those for children. It reflects the Government’s strategy for children and young people as described in its Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018) guidance.
