Safeguarding the children and young people of Luton is the responsibility of everyone.
Children and young people who receive their education at an educational establishment which is operating as an unregistered school are at risk as these settings are unregulated.
Businesses which exist to provide educational services to support children and young people can be caught by the definition of an unregistered school. Educational providers which are unknown to the Department for Education also provide a reputational risk to the council.
The aim of this policy is to draw upon the range of Council departments which hold intelligence relating to possible businesses operating as unregistered schools in order to ‘know the unknown’.
