Changes will be made to the Mosaic Reports Ofsted fostering dataset to meet the requirements detailed on the government website.

Reports Repository release version containing these changes will be added here once confirmed.

We’re updating the Mosaic Reports OFSTED Fostering dataset to meet the latest government requirements. These changes will include additional data fields that are currently missing from the return.

You may notice the following fields are not included in the current version of the report:

  • Postcode of fostering home

  • Terms of approval: minimum approved age of children in household

  • Terms of approval: maximum approved age of children in household

These fields are missing because they weren't previously required but are now part of the updated specifications.

We'll include these updates in a future Reports Repository release, and we’ll add the release version here once it’s confirmed.
