Providers of children’s residential care are responsible for ensuring their members of staff are suitably qualified. The department does not regularly collect information about the qualification levels of care staff. However, the Department for Education commissioned a census of the children’s homes workforce and the report is available here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/391529/RR437_-_Children_s_homes_workforce_census_.pdf.
