# The Children’s Homes (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2018, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Children’s Homes (England) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/541) to amend a restriction in those Regulations that prevents a 16 to 19 Academy, as defined in section 1B of the Academies Act 2010 (c. 32), from being a children’s home. These Regulations will allow a 16 to 19 Academy to be a children’s home where that children’s home is also approved by the Secretary of State to provide accommodation for the purpose of restricting the liberty of children and young people.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
