Children’s Home Failures Exposed

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

A children’s home in Salford received an “inadequate” Ofsted rating after shocking failures exposed kids at risk: unsupervised near bridges, a teen arrested for assaulting a police officer while drunk, and staff ignoring critical safety needs. Despite known histories of suicidal thoughts and substance abuse, leadership failed to ensure proper supervision, training, or safeguarding — even letting a vulnerable child out alone near dangerous locations. Staff delayed responses to missing children, used untrained physical interventions, and refused to act as appropriate adults during arrests, leaving kids to rely on police for medical care. Leadership is being held accountable for systemic neglect that put young lives in peril. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
