direct to your inboxA ‘doss house’ children’s home run by Rochdale council has been barred from taking on any more kids until it proves it can keep them safe.The home - which cannot be named for safeguarding reasons - has been slapped with a ‘restriction notice’ following a visit from Ofsted officials last month.Rated ‘good’ as recently as March 2020, it provides care for up to six children with emotional or behavioural difficulties, as well as outreach support.Osted carried out an inspection last month after concerns were raised over vulnerable youngsters going missing from the premises and police involvement.The watchdog has now published a damning report on the home, which finds that staff do not have the ‘skills and knowledge’ to ensure.
