The wellbeing of children is a priority, and the team demonstrates this through advocacy and commitment to achieving positive outcomes. Skills and knowledge of the team are well balanced, and a multi-agency approach helps to enhance practice. Importantly, staff care about the children and aim to reduce exposure to risks while allowing children space to mature.

p.3

Summary of findings

Staff feel supported by leaders and managers and said they are valued and secure in their roles. The management of the home is effective, with good oversight by the manager. This allows areas for improvement to be identified and shared with the team.

p.3

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: good

Staff provide stability for children, who are able to develop a sense of permanence and belonging. Staff know the children well, which has helped them to develop trust and emotional support that builds each child’s own self-confidence. Children have been supported to carry out fundraising activity locally, which helps them to feel a sense of belonging to the community that they live in.

p.3

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: good

There have been barriers to education for children due to their past experiences. A multi-agency approach is used to support children with their education journey. The manager and staff constantly adapt the children’s care plans to review and continue to support with education.

p.3

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: good

Children receive effective and timely help to prepare them for their futures. They are supported to develop their independence according to their individual needs, such as cooking, attending appointments and applying for jobs. The manager advocates for the stability of the children. They challenge the placing authority when there are concerns about the plans for children’s futures.

p.3

Overall experiences and progress of children and young people: good

p.3

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

Staff support and facilitate children to visit and spend time with their family and people who are important to them. This is further enhanced by the positive relationships that have been developed between staff and children’s families.

p.4

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

When children go missing from the home, staff have clear procedures and protocols to follow, which helps to reduce the impact of potential harm. Staff demonstrate an effective multi-agency approach in this area. One professional said, ‘Staff are always supportive and professional and will support me to get the best outcome for the children living in the home.’

p.4

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

Staff respond well to incidents and take suitable action to safeguard the children. Risk assessments are clear and provide clear guidance to staff in order to minimise children’s exposure to risks. However, the manager has not always reported significant events to Ofsted within the given timescales. This prevents the regulator from having oversight.

p.4

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: good

Staff said that they are proud of their achievements for the children. They said that they feel valued and supported in their role, and that the staff team is stable and consistent.

p.4

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: good

Supervision sessions are regular and supportive. The sessions are used to share reflection and learning, and if issues regarding practice are identified, they are quickly addressed.

p.4

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: good

Management systems are well established to support oversight within the home. Appropriately detailed plans are in place to ensure the continuous professional development of staff and to identify any additional training needs. This demonstrates a good level of analysis and vision, with staff benefiting from clear development plans.

p.4

The effectiveness of leaders and managers: good

Team meetings provide an opportunity for staff to discuss children’s needs and to share good practice. The in-house psychologist provides models of care that staff can use in their work with the children. This supports the development of staff knowledge and how past trauma can affect children’s behaviours. Inspection report for children’s home: 2764293 5
