## Description
East Sussex County Council are seeking applications for their Approved List for the provision of Supported Accommodation and Accommodation-Based Support for Children and Young People.
This Approved List is for Service Providers that will provide supported accommodation and accommodation-based support for:

3)	Care leavers and UASC aged 18–21 with ongoing or enduring Multiple and Complex Needs.
4)	Pregnant Care Leavers and young parents aged 16-21 with medium support needs.
Following a Department for Education’s consultation in 2021, the Government will introduce mandatory national standards and Ofsted-led regulation for providers of supported accommodation who accommodate Looked After Children and Care Leavers aged 16 and 17. The latest information available indicates that registration for regulation will commence in the Spring of 2023, with inspections commencing from October 2023.
