Summary of findings

Children make good progress and settle well as a result of supportive staff who provide a warm and caring environment. Staff know the children well. They understand the risks for them and follow the agreed plans. They work in partnership with external professionals to share information and reduce risk. Children's health and education needs are met. Staff advocate for children, guiding and supporting them and helping them to reach their goals and aspirations. Children have not gone missing from the home. However, some staff do not have full awareness of the protocols should a child go missing.

Staff listen to children and value what they say, enabling children to develop trusted relationships with them. Children feel that their wishes and feelings are heard and that staff take account of what is important to them. They say they can approach staff if they have a worry or concern. Staff help children talk about their feelings and help them to manage conflict and personal boundaries through reflective direct work that captures their views and opinions.

Children attend education regularly. Staff and leaders support and advocate for them to ensure their educational needs are met.

In particular, ensure that all staff are familiar with missing-from-care protocols in full. ('Guide to the Children's Homes Regulations, including the quality standards', page 45, paragraph 9.28).
