This monitoring visit

Ofsted carried out monitoring visits on 29 October 2025 and 3 December 2025. Due to the provider’s lack of progress to address the shortfalls, a second notice restricting accommodation was issued on 6 December 2025. The 2 compliance notices under regulations 4 and 5 were also restated.

p.2

This monitoring visit

This visit was carried out to review the provider’s compliance with the notice restricting accommodation and to evaluate progress made to address concerns. Since the last monitoring visit, the provider has reduced the number of properties offering supported accommodation.

This monitoring visit

The registered service manager was unavailable for this visit but has returned to their role. The nominated individual and another director have been working with the registered service manager to oversee the service, and the provider submitted an improvement plan to Ofsted.

p.2

This monitoring visit

This visit identified no evidence of progress in addressing serious shortfalls. No referrals have been made to the local authority designated officer for allegations made against staff in 2025. Leaders and managers lack a thorough understanding of the most effective practices for safeguarding children and do not have an effective system in place for managing safeguarding.

p.2

This monitoring visit

Leaders and managers wrote to Ofsted about how they wanted to improve the service, but those changes were not evidenced or had not yet occurred. The improvement plan highlighted changes to recruitment practices, safeguarding children, and the oversight of leaders and managers, but these changes have not been addressed.
