"Safeguarding concerns are managed well. The Manager reports concerns to the Designated Officer and follows the advice
given. The staff have undertaken relevant safeguarding training and they report and record concerns appropriately" March
2020.
“Safeguarding issues are promptly investigated, recorded and resolved in a timely manner. All the staff attend safeguarding
training. They know what to do if they have a concern about a child’s well-being”
Ofsted July 2019
“Individual placement plans, behaviour plans and risk assessments are of good quality. Records give a clear and vivid
description of the work undertaken to meet children’s behavioural and care needs. Any potential risks are swiftly identified,
and plans are updated.”
Ofsted July 2019
“Children’s views are listened to and acted on. Their views are gathered through house meetings, key-work sessions and
ongoing discussions with the staff”
Ofsted June 2019
“Staff feel that they have access to the necessary training courses to help them to identify areas of concern and risk for
children. This includes the risks associated with child sexual and criminal exploitation, and radicalisation”.
