Safeguarding
Keeping young people safe is everyone’s responsibility.
For young people aged 16–17, safety, protection and wellbeing must sit alongside growing independence; safeguarding concerns need human support, not decisions from an AI assistant.
In an emergency
- If a child or young person is in immediate danger, call 999.
- For non-emergency police matters, call 101.
- Young people can contact Childline on 0800 1111.
- Adults worried about a child can contact the NSPCC Helpline on 0808 800 5000.
Support, protection and accountability
Supported accommodation for looked-after children and care leavers aged 16 and 17 in England sits within the Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023 and Ofsted registration and inspection requirements. The statutory Quality Standards cover Leadership and Management, Protection, Accommodation and Support.
These principles highlight clear responsibility, safe environments and support shaped around each young person’s needs. This information is context, not a claim of verified registration, compliance or regulatory endorsement.
