Writing a Young Person

This comprehensive guidance is designed to support residential childcare providers in writing a high-quality, regulatory-compliant Young Person’s Guide. It covers the legal requirements outlined in the Children’s Homes (England) Regulations 2015 and offers a detailed, step-by-step framework for creating a child-friendly, accessible, and engaging guide that informs and empowers children entering care. The guidance explains what content must be included—such as daily routines, rights, safeguarding, complaints, advocacy, and support—while also offering best practice advice on tone, presentation, and inclusivity. Ideal for new providers or services reviewing their documentation, this resource ensures your Young Person’s Guide is not only compliant, but genuinely welcoming and meaningful for the children you support.
