The Tribunal dismissed Mrs B’s appeal against Ofsted’s cancellation of her childminder registration, finding repeated non-notification, safeguarding failings, and unsuitability.
The First-tier Tribunal upheld Ofsted’s decision to restrict new admissions at a supported accommodation provider, finding a material risk of significant harm and a proportionate intervention.
IPS Law LLP & Anor v Solicitors Regulation Authority Ltd [2026] EWHC 1124 (Ch) (26 January 2026)
Challenge to an SRA intervention failed after the court found reasonable grounds to suspect dishonesty and upheld the intervention as proportionate.
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.
Source excerpt
The Tribunal found that, as of the hearing date, there was sufficient evidence to reasonably believe that children may be exposed to a risk of harm due to the lack of an approved Responsible Individual and Registered Manager, ongoing deficits in governance and leadership, and unresolved concerns with procedures and policies. Suspension remains necessary and proportionate until these deficits are remedied.
Source excerpt
The Tribunal found that Ofsted had reasonable grounds to believe that continued provision of childcare by the Appellant may expose children to a risk of harm, particularly due to her lack of insight into the risk posed by her partner and her failure to adhere to her own risk assessment. Suspension was deemed a necessary and proportionate response pending the outcome of ongoing investigations.
Source excerpt
The Tribunal found that there was cogent evidence that Mr Chamberlain's behaviour on 22 October 2025 was verbally and physically aggressive in the presence of minded children, exposing them to a risk of significant harm as defined by law. Mrs Chamberlain demonstrated lack of insight and control over the situation, and the evidence suggested she may not prioritise the children's welfare or comply with conditions. The risk to children outweighed the adverse impact on the appellants and affected families. The suspensions were necessary, justified, and proportionate to protect children from harm.
