WORKERS welcomed plans today to remove profit-making from children’s care services in Wales after they cleared a hurdle in the Senedd.

If the Bill becomes law, no new for-profit providers of children’s care homes, fostering and secure accommodation services would be able to register in Wales from April 2026.

Existing for-profit providers would need to transition to one of four models set out in the Bill, verifying their registration with Care Inspectorate Wales by 2030.
