Overall experiences and progress of children

Staff help children prepare for independence by teaching practical life skills in planned support sessions and through ongoing discussions. The support from staff helps children to grow in confidence as they gain necessary skills for independent living. A member of staff commented that one thing they particularly value about the service is the focus on helping children build confidence and develop the skills they will need as they move towards adulthood. Young people often keep in contact with the service after they have moved on to independent living arrangements.

Staff monitor children’s progress and share information with local authorities appropriately. Monthly progress reports are produced along with children, which ensures that their voice is heard. One child wrote:

p.2

Overall experiences and progress of children

‘I have become more independent, and I do most things for myself. I finished my GCSEs, got into college, and I am working on my business. I can manage my shopping, cooking, laundry and going out by myself. I want professionals to listen to me and communicate with me properly. I also want support with college when I need it, but I still want to do as much as I can for myself.’

p.2

Overall experiences and progress of children

Children receive the support they need when they need it most. Many professionals gave positive feedback about the quality of support children receive. They spoke of good communication with staff and children being well supported in the homes. One social worker said, ‘Communication and partnership working were consistently good. Their communication was professional, transparent, and facilitated effective multi- agency working.’

p.2

Overall experiences and progress of children

Leaders and managers ensure that children receive the support they need to access social amenities in the local community. When children move in, staff introduce them to the local services, including GP surgeries, dentists, opticians, gyms, places of worship, libraries, shops and transport services. To reduce isolation and promote inclusion, staff encourage children to participate in activities that enhance their social interactions in the community.

p.2

How well children are helped and protected

The safeguarding of children is paramount. Staff know children’s routines well and are efficient to identify potential areas of risk that might arise for children.

p.3

How well children are helped and protected

Staff have a calming demeanour and presence, which enables them to peacefully de-escalate occasions when children experience distress. Children learn to take responsibility for unacceptable behaviour and apologise to others for their actions. A professional said:

p.3

How well children are helped and protected

‘A particular strength of the service was the dedication shown by staff in continuing to support a young person whose engagement was limited and whose behaviours could be challenging. Despite these difficulties, staff remained committed to providing consistent support and maintaining professional relationships, demonstrating a strong focus on the young person’s welfare and safety.’

p.3

How well children are helped and protected

Leaders and managers provide an extensive range of training for staff, which helps to inform and contextualise their work with children. Staff’s core training includes safeguarding, suicide awareness, de-escalation, trauma-informed approaches, managing conflict, exploitation and online safety. Any necessary additional training is sought out and tailored to reflect individual children’s needs. One member of staff said, ‘The training I have received has helped me understand my responsibilities, particularly around safeguarding, professional boundaries and supporting young people safely.’

p.3

How well children are helped and protected

When incidents involving children occur, they receive a coordinated response from staff, who ensure that their wellbeing is the focus. Partner agencies are appropriately informed about what is happening. Managers consistently review the actions taken by staff to safeguard children and check that all staff have responded appropriately. A social worker commented, ‘Where incidents have occurred, the provider has demonstrated reflection, reviewed risk management arrangements and maintained focus on supporting placement stability rather than pursuing immediate placement disruption.’ However, managers do not inform Ofsted of all significant events. This hinders Ofsted’s oversight of the actions taken by the provider to ensure that children are safeguarded effectively.

p.3

How well children are helped and protected

Leaders and managers say that the use of surveillance cameras located internally in premises is to promote the safety of children. However, the extensive use of cameras in the hallways between bedrooms and bathrooms may be perceived as infringing on children’s privacy.

p.3

How well children are helped and protected

The provider adheres to safer recruitment practices. All necessary pre-employment checks are carried out before staff begin working with children. This includes identity verification, enhanced police checks, references and employment histories. Recruitment records are well maintained, and only suitable individuals are employed to work with children. Inspection report for supported accommodation provider: Teebollz Consulting Ltd 4

The nominated individual and registered service manager roles are held by the same person. They ensure that the ethos described in the service’s statement of purpose is delivered and embedded across the homes.

p.4

The effectiveness of leaders and managers

The registered service manager has effective oversight of services. They are a visible leader, and they visit services regularly. The management team provides a responsive on-call, out-of-hours service where staff can access support and guidance at any time. This ensures that staff have good support when dealing with issues as they arise. Feedback from staff about their leaders is overwhelmingly positive. One member of staff stated that one of the values of the organisation is that staff are encouraged to keep learning and not become complacent in their practice, resulting in them having more confidence to fulfil their roles.

p.4

The effectiveness of leaders and managers

Decisions for children to move in are made with full consideration of past experiences, risks, support needs and plans, as well as the impact on those already living in the accommodation. A social worker commented that the matching process is very good and focused on the individual needs of each young person.

p.4

The effectiveness of leaders and managers

Leaders and managers monitor children’s progress very well. They ensure that staff use up-to-date plans that provide clear guidance on how to support each child’s changing needs. This has a positive impact on children’s progress, as staff know them well. Children’s case records reflect the work that is carried out by staff. They show the children’s achievements and their future plans. The registered service manager has high expectations and aspirations for all children.

p.4

The effectiveness of leaders and managers

Leaders and managers respond positively to feedback from professionals. They use learning from feedback to improve support for children. A professional commented that the provider demonstrates a willingness to seek advice, share concerns and work collaboratively with professionals when supporting children to develop their independence skills.

Staff are well supported professionally and personally. Managers and staff receive regular supervision and comprehensive appraisals.
