HOW IT FITS THE CCSG RANGE

This is a launch coordination resource. Use your own policies and child care systems or separately purchased CCSG resources; no additional purchase is required.

IMPORTANT

For standard residential children’s homes in England. It is not a completed application, policy suite, professional fire assessment, planning decision or inspection service. Independent of Ofsted and DfE, with no registration or inspection outcome guaranteed. Adapt to the actual home and consult current official guidance. Digital ZIP with editable Word files.
