p.2

improvement to be good

There are serious concerns about the management and oversight of the home. Several incidents have not been managed well. However, the children have recently settled and are not unsafe. There are currently four children living at the home. Since April 2020, four children have moved into the home and one child has left in an unplanned way.

p.3

improvement to be good

The home has been without a registered manager for six months. Since December 2020, 11 of the staff have left, leaving an inexperienced staff team that is supported by agency staff. Despite this, two new children have moved into the home. The staff team does not have the relevant skills or training to manage one child’s needs. One child was moved recently to this home from another home that is owned by the organisation. At that time, there were very few staff at this home and the children were unsettled. The responsible individual justified moving another child into the home because the staff from the child’s previous home would accompany them to this home. This did not fully materialise and left a depleted and inexperienced staff team caring for four children. The children have been unsettled by the arrival of the two new children and the frequent changes to the staff team.

p.3

improvement to be good

The staff try to plan and coordinate the children’s care. However, there is a lack of organisation and communication. Some staff are working tirelessly to manage multiple tasks, but new staff are not being given enough direction or guidance. This has resulted in an important letter about a child’s mental health being mislaid, a child’s family visit being forgotten, and a medication error not being communicated to the school.

p.3

improvement to be good

Three of the children attend school. Generally, the staff and the daily routine support the children’s school attendance, although the routine can lack organisation. Staff prepared a child who requires routine-based care for school on a day when the school was closed. Children’s attendance has suffered recently, and a child who is new to the home has no education or vocational or college provision.

p.3

improvement to be good

The staff have not maintained the garden to a reasonable standard. The enclosed rear garden is overgrown, untidy and littered in parts. There is hardcore rubble lying around and the trampoline is very worn. The overdue garden maintenance was identified previously as a shortfall. However, the garden landscaping plans have been delayed because of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The garden has been neglected by the staff, and this does not provide a pleasant outdoor space for children.

p.3

improvement to be good

The children have strong relationships with the few remaining core staff. The deputy manager and housekeeper have strived to provide some continuity to the children during the staff changes. Inspection report children’s home: SC439153 4 Children are encouraged and supported to gain independent living skills, such as shopping, budgeting and cooking.

p.3

improvement to be good

The housekeeper maintains a clean and welcoming environment inside the well- appointed house. The children and staff eat around the table and enjoy meals, which the children are encouraged to choose.

p.4

improvement to be good

Risk management plans do not contain current information to help the staff mitigate against risks to the children. Recent concerns about internet safety are not included in the children’s risk assessments. Despite known concerns about children’s access to the internet, there are no strategies to monitor the sites that the children access. This makes the children who have internet access extremely vulnerable.

p.4

improvement to be good

The staff do not always report or record safeguarding concerns properly. Although concerns are shared verbally, they do not link to updated strategies and risk management plans to reduce the risks to children.

p.4

improvement to be good

The communication systems and handover of information are not effective. Consequently, a device was purchased by staff for a child before any safety measures were considered. Following this purchase, concerns about the unsafe use of the device were reported by the staff and the school. Despite these concerns being noted, to date, no actions have been agreed to monitor or check this device.

p.4

improvement to be good

The staff have failed to identify items that pose a potential risk to the children. There are several hazards in the garden. These include bricks, broken patio slabs and rubble. This is despite recent incidents in which the staff have called the police to manage children’s behaviour.

p.4

improvement to be good

The staff supervise children closely and generally provide a protective presence and reassure children. Despite this, there have been several incidents of bullying. On some occasions, staff have followed the incident up and on others there have been no further actions or oversight.

p.4

improvement to be good

Children rarely leave the home without agreement. One child has settled after an initial adjustment period. The overall number of incidents has reduced. The staff rarely use any form of physical restraint and work on a model of reinforcing the children’s positive behaviour.

p.4

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: inadequate

The management and oversight of the home are ineffective and fail to provide the children with consistent care or adequate safeguards. In the absence of a registered manager, the management cover has failed to provide clear leadership or direction to the staff. This shortfall has been exacerbated by the challenges of COVID-19 restrictions. Inspection report children’s home: SC439153 5 The registered manager left in October 2020 and a manager was quickly appointed. This provided a period of stability. A child was assessed as a suitable match for the home and moved in. Specific staff training to support the child was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The child’s admission caused concern among the staff team and since then several staff and the acting manager have resigned.

p.4

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: inadequate

The turnover of staff is high. New staff, agency staff and staff from other homes owned by the organisation have filled in when there have been staff shortages. However, the staffing arrangements are not adequate. New staff are left alone overnight with agency staff without any risk assessment of this arrangement. A new member of staff was alone with two children while an agency member of staff took a child to school. A member of staff from another home who had never worked at this home was left with an agency member of staff late at night. An incident occurred with a child who specifically requires routine-based care and skilled staff. The staff were unable to de-escalate the child’s behaviour. The staff locked themselves in the office and called the police. The police presence increased the child’s anxiety. The police expressed their concerns about the management of the incident. These staffing arrangements do not provide safe levels of supervision or

p.5

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: inadequate

There are new staff who have not had safeguarding training. Most of the staff are not trained in managing children with autism spectrum conditions. A lack of communication and organisation directly affects the children’s care and leads to a failure to provide effective safeguards.

p.5

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: inadequate

The staff team meeting minutes show that a number of staff are concerned about taking new children without the staff to care for them. The senior managers have moved a fourth child to the home without listening to the staff or prioritising the care of the children already living at the home.

p.5

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: inadequate

Some staff have had supervision, but there are gaps in this supervision. One new member of staff has had one supervision in eight weeks and a minimal induction. Due to staff shortages, group supervision has been provided. This does not give staff the chance to discuss their well-being or receive individual support.

p.5

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: inadequate

There are numerous managerial monitoring tasks that have not been kept up to date. The records of bullying and safeguarding incidents, and risk assessments, have not been checked. These records are not current. Some identified actions have not been followed through and one record made a long reference to the wrong child. The environment is not checked for hazards. These shortfalls highlight the absence of managerial monitoring and oversight.

p.5

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: inadequate

The independent visitor has combined a blended approach to monthly visits that include a short visit to the home. The reports fail to include any feedback from parents and the last report failed to identify any actions. These reports are not driving improvement to the children’s care. Inspection report children’s home: SC439153 6 The home’s new electric recording system is not being used competently by all the staff. There is a lack of training and support for staff in using this system. Consequently, some of the records are disorganised. The manager and staff work collaboratively with social workers and other professionals. However, external professionals generally lack confidence in the service. The staff are reactive and fail to identify safe strategies to reduce children’s risks. Overall, children’s care is not organised effectively, and the staff team is inconsistent, and this has unsettled the children.
