p.1

Findings from the inspection

We did not identify any serious or widespread concerns in relation to the care or protection of children at this assurance inspection. As no children have lived at the home since it registered with Ofsted, it is not possible to evaluate the quality of care provided to children or how well they are kept safe.

p.2

Findings from the inspection

Currently, the home is not staffed for operational purposes. Recruitment activity remains ongoing to ensure that the home has a full staffing establishment to provide safe care for children.

p.2

Findings from the inspection

A training and induction plan is in place to provide new staff with online and face-to- face training, along with shadow shifts at the provider’s sister home. However, as there are no staff or children at the home, it is not possible to evaluate the effectiveness of this training on the development of staff’s skills and knowledge and ability to meet children’s needs.

p.2

Findings from the inspection

There have been no updates to the policies that were in place when the home initially registered with Ofsted.

p.2

Findings from the inspection

The home has recently been refurbished to a good standard, and the 2 bedrooms available for children are appropriately decorated and furnished. The grounds of the home are fully secure, and there is a play area to the rear. Some areas of the front garden are overgrown with weeds, meaning this space is inaccessible to children in its current state. Assurance inspection report for children’s home: 2843709 3
