Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps are being taken to speed up Ofsted's voluntary register processing time for home child carer applications.

​​This is a matter for His Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Sir Martyn Oliver. I have asked him to write to the hon. Member for Hornsey and Friern Barnet directly and a copy of his reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
