A record 4,010 children’s homes in England raise alarm as profit-driven expansion and unregistered facilities worsen a national crisis.
A record 4,010 children’s homes in England have raised concerns as Ofsted warns profit motives are driving expansion, particularly in cheaper regions like the North West, where 26% of homes are located despite only 18% of looked-after children.
Nearly 90% of councils are placing children in unregistered homes, some costing up to £30,000 weekly, due to shortages and misaligned supply.
Despite a nearly doubled budget since 2015-16, rising costs and slow registration have fueled a crisis, with 680 illegal homes identified in 870 investigations.
Ofsted calls the situation a "national scandal" and urges urgent government action, including new legislation to enforce penalties and a national strategy to prioritize children’s needs over profit.
