More regulation for home-based childcare: nannies, maternity nurses & tutors

Summary

We believe that this sector needs more regulation. Anyone can call themselves a nanny, maternity nurse, or tutor without qualifications, training, or background checks. This can put children at risk. We call on the UK Government to introduce more regulation for all home-based childcare professionals, including nannies, maternity nurses, and tutors. This could include: A compulsory national register Mandatory enhanced DBS checks Minimum training standards (including safe sleep and safeguarding) Protected job titles A clear system for reporting concerns and enforcing standards This could improve safety, transparency, and accountability for families.
