The Children’s Homes Regulations 2015 stated that “the registered person must keep the Statement of Purpose under review and, where appropriate revise it, and notify the HMCI of any revisions and send HMCI a copy of the revised statement of purpose within 28 days of the revision (regulation16(3))”.
