The fundamentals of our economy are strong: wages are growing, employment is at a record high and the unemployment rate is at a historic low.

The Children\u2019s Homes (England) Regulations 2015, for the first time, introduced quality standards for children\u2019s homes. Through the guide to the regulations and quality standards, we make clear that the only purposes for which restraint can be used are to prevent injury to any person; prevent serious damage to the property of any person; or prevent a child who is accommodated in a secure children\u2019s home from absconding from the home.<\/p>
When restraint involves the use of force, the force used must not be more than is necessary and should be applied in a way that is proportionate. The regulations are clear that restraint that deliberately inflicts pain cannot be proportionate and should never be used on children in children\u2019s homes.<\/p>
Where restraint is used, records must be kept and should enable the registered person and staff to review the incident, identify effective practice and respond promptly where any issues or trends of concerns emerge.<\/p>
Ofsted is responsible for inspecting children\u2019s homes and on inspection will review the policies and procedures homes have in place for the use of restraint, including the recording of incidents. Ofsted will review individual cases of restraint to ensure practice is proportionate and meets the needs of the child. Where poor practice is identified, Ofsted can take enforcement action including issuing compliance notices where necessary.<\/p>

The department uses a wide range of indicators to measure the effectiveness of the children\u2019s care system. These are provided at local, regional and national level in the department\u2019s statistical first releases and brought together in our local authority interactive tool. This can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-authority-interactive-tool-lait<\/a>.<\/p> We also use Ofsted judgements to assess the effectiveness of children\u2019s services. This enables the department to intervene where necessary, to follow up on any concerns in local authorities and to explore good practice.<\/p> <\/p>"}
