The transparency data \u2018Looked after children in independent or semi-independent placements\u2019 was initially published on 12 February 2020, alongside independent research commissioned by the department into the use of unregulated and unregistered provision for children in care. The documents can be found here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/864075/Looked_after_children_in_independent_or_semi-independent_placements_Feb_2020.pdf<\/a> and here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/use-of-unregulated-and-unregistered-provision-for-children-in-care<\/a>.<\/p>

These publications provided important context to the government consultation \u2018Reforms to unregulated provision for children in care and care leavers\u2019 which was published on the same date, and asked for views on proposals to reform the use of this provision. This publication is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/unregulated-provision-for-children-in-care-and-care-leavers<\/a>. This transparency data was an ad-hoc release and, as confirmed in the report, will not be produced annually.<\/p>

<\/p>

The department published a further suite of transparency data on 19 February 2021, available here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/960067/Looked_after_children_aged_under_16_in_unregulated_placements.pdf<\/a>. This provided details on the use of independent and semi-independent accommodation specifically for children under the age of 16 and was published to assist local authorities to prepare for a ban on the placement of under 16s in these placements from 9 September 2021. This was also an ad-hoc release and, as confirmed in the report, will not be produced annually.<\/p>
