p.1

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: good

The child is settling well and making good progress. The child is supported by caring and patient staff who understand their individual needs. When the child becomes unsettled, staff work effectively with external professionals to ensure that the child is safe. This coordinated approach contributes to the child’s stability and to the development of positive experiences.

p.2

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: good

Staff are beginning to build strong and trusting relationships with the child and with external agencies. They are sensitive to the child’s needs and apply consistent strategies to meet these. Information is shared promptly with all relevant professionals, ensuring that decisions regarding the child’s care are well informed. This effective multi- agency working underpins a holistic approach to meeting the child’s needs.

p.2

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: good

The child’s educational needs are understood and well supported. When the child experiences difficulty attending school in person, staff and managers work collaboratively with the school to ensure that the child continues to access structured learning at home. Staff maintain daily communication with the school, which supports consistency in promoting the child’s educational progress and wider needs. Staff recognise the child’s strong relationships with school staff and use these to support the child’s engagement and well-being.

p.2

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: good

Staff and managers use creative and child-centred approaches to understand the child’s views and wishes. Daily informal discussions and key-work sessions, delivered using a ‘curious to know’ approach, enable the child to reflect and to share their thoughts. This supports learning, promotes positive interactions and helps the child feel listened to and valued.

p.2

How well children and young people are helped and protected: good

Leaders and managers promote a positive safeguarding culture. Risks are clearly identified, and staff support the child to understand these risks and to develop strategies to keep themselves safe. The manager uses reflective discussions in team meetings, handovers and supervisions to consider emerging concerns. This ensures that staff practice remains responsive and well informed.

p.2

How well children and young people are helped and protected: good

The child has been missing from the home, but the frequency of these episodes has reduced because staff, managers and external agencies work together to implement and follow effective safety plans. Leaders and managers do not inform the regulator of all serious incidents. Ofsted was not informed of episodes of the child going missing when the child was not located overnight. This means Ofsted has been unable to review the provider’s actions and responses. Inspection report for children’s home: 2828248 3 Staff have developed secure and trusting relationships with the child. They use these relationships effectively to support the child at times of emotional distress.

p.2

How well children and young people are helped and protected: good

Physical intervention is not used; instead, staff provide calm, nurturing and therapeutic responses that help the child manage their emotions safely. Staff respond promptly and sensitively, helping the child to express and explore their feelings. The child has good support from staff, the school, and child and adolescent mental health services. Managers and staff explore further strategies to help the child build independent emotional regulation skills.

p.3

How well children and young people are helped and protected: good

Leaders and managers ensure that staff recruitment procedures are robust. Thorough checks are completed before staff commence work. This ensures that suitable and skilled staff care for the child.

p.3

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: good

Leaders and managers provide effective leadership. They have a good understanding of the home’s systems and use these to drive improvement. This includes strengthening staff support, care practice and management oversight. Leaders and managers have addressed previous shortfalls, resulting in improved care and better overall practice within the home.

p.3

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: good

Staff and the manager have not always received regular supervision or benefited from consistent team meetings. The current management team now ensures that all staff receive regular, well-structured supervisions. These sessions allow staff to discuss their training needs, practice and any support required. Staff now feel valued, listened to and better supported.

p.3

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: good

Leaders and managers are committed to staff development. Staff receive mandatory training, and training tailored to the child’s needs. Leaders and managers have recently reviewed how they monitor completion of staff training and ensure that they have good oversight of individual staff’s training needs.

p.3

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: good

Leaders and managers promote equality, diversity and inclusion. The home supports both the child and staff to understand and respect individual differences. Staff from diverse backgrounds draw on their own experiences to enrich the support offered. The home provides a suitable working environment, including private space for prayer and hygiene facilities that meet staff’s religious needs. Inspection report for children’s home: 2828248 4
