🔹 3. Why This Matters

Thousands of vulnerable children are placed into care homes across the UK each year — often far from family, legal scrutiny, or protection.

⚠️ i. 1,300+ reports of abuse in one year

“More than 1,300 reports of physical and sexual assaults were recorded in privately run children’s homes in England alone in 2022–2023.”
— NSPCC / The Guardian FOI

⚠️ ii. £300 million in profit — while children suffer

The top 10 private providers made £300 million+ in profit, yet Ofsted found homes:

• Failing to prevent sexual exploitation
• Using restraint and isolation
• Operating despite safeguarding failures

— CMA, Ofsted

⚠️ iii. Trafficking from within the system

“Children were raped, drugged, and trafficked across borders from council and private homes. Multiple agencies failed to intervene.”
— 2023 Carlisle Inquiry / IICSA

---

⚠️ iv. Ofsted complicit in failure

Some homes received ‘Good’ ratings despite:

• Dozens of abuse complaints
• Placing children far from home
• No follow-up on safeguarding breaches

— BBC Panorama, Parliamentary Committee

---

⚠️ v. Unregulated = Unprotected

Children in unregulated placements are up to 7x more likely to suffer abuse or exploitation.
These are often used for “difficult” or politically inconvenient cases.
