Services for children and young people
Care home and care at home services both sometimes provide care for children and young people under the age of 18. This does not include services like childcare.
Children’s care homes are often small and only care for a small number of children. Some people might not think these small services should be covered by Freedom of Information laws.
Small services might find it hard to handle the work needed to follow Freedom of Information law. But small services probably would not get many requests for information.
Question 4: Do you agree that Freedom of Information laws should cover private and charity care home and care at home services for children and young people under 18?
