Conclusion (the committee's words)
We agree with the Children’s Commissioner for England and with the recommendation made in the 2022 Independent Review of Children’s Social Care that a universal set of standards of care should be introduced and applied to all settings of the children’s social care framework, including supported accommodation settings. Additionally, children in supported accommodation settings must not live in shared accommodation with adults. (Recommendation, Paragraph 144) 102
