Watchdog finds 'serious and widespread failures' at 'inadequate' children's home
A watchdog found ‘serious and widespread failures’ at a Stockport children’s home, that left children unprotected and their welfare ‘not promoted or safeguarded’.
Risk-management plans are ineffective because they do not consistently contain relevant and current information about children’s risks. Some known risks and behaviours for children are not clearly assessed.” While some ‘practical steps’ were taken after the incident to safeguard the child , the manager failed to ‘embed a robust protocol for staff to follow’ should the child go missing again.
He said: “This inspection outcome is unacceptable to us as an organisation as we strive to provide the very highest standard of residential care to society’s most vulnerable children, something which is evidenced by the inspection history across all of our other settings which are all rated Good or Outstanding.
