The manager registered with Ofsted in October 2025.

p.1

This monitoring visit

Ofsted carried out this visit to address specific concerns or allegations. These related to safeguarding notifications shared with the regulator regarding allegations about staff. This visit focused on these concerns.

p.1

This monitoring visit

Since the last inspection, five allegations have been raised regarding staff conduct. Four out of the five allegations were managed effectively and recorded well. Leaders maintained effective liaison with partner agencies, made good use of probationary and disciplinary processes, and ensured the child’s safety.

p.1

This monitoring visit

The fifth and most recent allegation was not managed effectively. The record of the physical intervention is poor and does not provide a clear description or understanding of the circumstances that led to the need for the child to be physically held.

p.1

This monitoring visit

Leaders’ oversight of the physical intervention records has not addressed the lack of relevant information in the staff’s recording of the incident. This initial lapse in recording then affected the ability to assess the appropriateness and proportionality of the physical intervention. Subsequent investigations were not thorough enough and lacked professional curiosity to gather relevant information from staff, preventing a clear rationale for decisions about staff conduct. This also affected the ability to learn from the incident to prevent it from happening again. Inspection report for children’s home - monitoring visit: 2793162 2 The requirement and recommendation from the previous inspection were not reviewed at this visit and have therefore been restated.
