Screen readers can struggle to read out tables sensibly, so it is often better to use alternative mark-up and CSS to layout content. Try disabling the table mark-up to see if it still makes sense. See WCAG 2.1 Failure F49.               <table width="97%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

  83               An annual review will be undertaken (in consultation with the Police and any other relevant
                   bodies) of the appropriateness and suitability of the location of the home. The purpose of this
                   review is to ensure that children and young people cared for in the home are effectively
                   safeguarded and able to access services as identified on their Care Plans/Placement Plans.

  86               Considerations to be taken into account in carrying out a location assessment may include:
  86             </p>
  87             <ul>
  88               <li>
  88                 Whether the location of the home influences the potential for an already vulnerable child to
                     be a victim of crime, such as being targeted for sexual exploitation;
  88               </li>
  89               <li>
  89                 Whether there is a likelihood of children placed in the home becoming drawn into gang crime or
                     anti-social behaviour in the local area;
  89               </li>
  90               <li>
  90                 The suitability of the local neighbourhood as a location to care for children who may have
                     already been victims of abuse and neglect; and
  90               </li>
  91               <li>
  91                 Whether there are environmental factors that would represent a hazard to children, such as
                     locations near level crossings or busy roads.
  91               </li>
  92             </ul>
  93             <p>
  93               Location assessments may also identify factors that would positively contribute towards a
                   child's well-being e.g. leisure activities or services to support the child's ethnic or
                   religious identity.

                   process. The visits should usually be unannounced but can be announced if it is necessary to
                   arrange to meet a particular person.

 128               Regulation 45 Report – Review of Quality of Care
 128             </h3>
 129             <p>
 129               As identified earlier, the formal Review of Quality of Care (Regulation 45) completed by the
                   Registered Manager must be submitted to HMCI at least once every 6 months which is sent within
                   28 days of the completion of the review.
 129             </p>
 130             <p>
 130               It is the expectation of the Responsible Individual that these reviews are completed at least
                   quarterly or as and when the Registered Manager assesses it to be necessary. The registered
                   Manager may assess that due to events in the home, changes in residents or significant changes
                   in staff for example it may be helpful to review outside of these timescales.
 130             </p>
 131             <p>
 131               In order to carry complete a review of the quality of care the Registered Manager must establish
                   and maintain a system for monitoring, reviewing and evaluating:
 131             </p>
 132             <ol type="a">

 134               <li>
 134                 The feedback and opinions of the children about the children's home, its facilities and the
                     quality of care they receive in it; and
 134               </li>
 135               <li>
 135                 Any actions that the registered person considers necessary in order to improve or maintain the
                     quality of care provided for children;
 135               </li>
 136               <li>
 136                 The feedback and opinions of the parents, placing authorities and other significant
                     stakeholders in the care of the children and in the home such as the staff working there.  
 136               </li>
 137             </ol>
 138             <p>
 138               The Registered Manger should make available their schedule of monitoring to ensure that in their
                   absence monitoring will continue.
 138             </p>
 139             <p>
 139               Whilst it is the responsibility of the Registered Manager to establish and maintain their system
                   of monitoring for the home, the Foundation expects that that the following are monitored:

 200               It is the responsibility of the Registered Manger to decide on what should be included in the
                   review of the home. The report should be an analysis of the information monitored, reviewed and
                   evaluated, with the aim of learning from the information to inform and drive improvements in the
                   home and for the quality care of the children placed there.
 200             </p>
 201             The following headings and guidance are for reference to help inform a structure for reporting.
                 The views and wishes of children and other key stakeholders should form an integrated part of the
                 analysis within the report.
