  • Mari McVicar on Secret social worker: looked after children
    05 Dec 2018 11:11
    I find this article generalises the care provided by both private and local authority care. As a manger of a private residential home and previously a local authority home I can guarantee that the young people in my care did not see a change in their quality of care depending on cost. My staff team are registered and therefore have to meet minimum qualifications, they have access to a huge array of both online and face to face training relevant to their role and the young people’s needs. Rather than slagging off the quality of care provided by the 1 residential home you have experienced why not look at the outcomes achieved by young people, become involved in organisations and services which look at the reasons behind why young people in residential do not achieve the same outcomes as young people in foster care or at home. Be part of the solution, don’t use your voice to create negativity
