Clause 26
Children and Young Persons Bill [Lords]
5:30 pm
David Kidney (PPS (Rt Hon Rosie Winterton, Minister of State), Department for Transport; Stafford, Labour)
Does my hon. Friend take the view that, in order to have the full picture, it should be a requirement to record young persons absconding or committing an offence? Is she aware that it used to be best practice for inspectors to ask for that information and that Ofsted, now that it is responsible, has told inspectors that they do not need to ask for it and that the home does not need to record it because that is no longer required by regulation? Does that not show the importance of what she is putting forward today?
