M v Ofsted
The appellant is not suitable to be registered as a childminder due to repeated safeguarding failures, lack of candour and honesty with the regulator, and an inadequate response to a serious safeguarding allegation. The decision to cancel registration was lawful, necessary, and proportionate to protect children and public confidence. The appellant's conduct demonstrated a lack of understanding of safeguarding and an unwillingness to accept responsibility, justifying cancellation under the statutory framework.
