It is an offence, under Section 96 of the Education and Skills Act 2008, for a person to conduct an independent school unless it is registered with the Department.

Ofsted have made an attempt to inspect Hope Sussex Community Hub, based on a reasonable cause to believe that a suspected unregistered school was operating on the premises.

The safety and wellbeing of asylum seekers in our care is of paramount importance to the Home Office. We expect high standards from all of our providers, and we have a robust governance framework in place to manage service delivery of the Asylum Accommodation Support Contracts (AASC). Details of the AASC can be found at:<\/p>

New asylum accommodation contracts awarded - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)(opens in a new tab)<\/a>.<\/p>

<\/p>

Robust compliance and governance protocols exist to ensure daily engagement is undertaken with our service providers by Home Office officials to ensure and assure that the providers\u2019 operational delivery and overall performance consistently meet the required standards. If any issues are identified providers are required to take immediate action to address and recover accordingly.<\/p>
