The latest update from the Social Services Regulator (SSR) details what we have been doing since February 2026, when our remit expanded to new regulatory functions in line with recommendations from the Rapid Child Safety Review. Including Regulator Jonathan Kaplan’s engagement with co-regulators; stakeholders; and our advisory groups, such as the Consultative Committee and Service Provider Reference Group.
You’ll also find information on what the child safety reforms mean for service providers after the transfer of regulatory responsibilities from the Commission of Children and Young People to the SSR. And sections on the SSR’s approach to regulation, and registration for providers of social services.
