Consultation description
We鈥檇 like your views to help the development of a voluntary safeguarding code of practice for out-of-school settings (OOSS). We鈥檇 also like your views on accompanying guidance for parents, which sets out the key questions they may wish to consider when choosing an out-of-school setting for their child.
An OOSS is any institution which provides tuition, training, instruction, or activities to children in England without their parents鈥� or carers鈥� supervision, and that is not a:
- school
- college
- 16-19 academy
- provider caring for children under 8 years old, which is registered with Ofsted or a childminder agency
