Ambiguity has been much cited in reference to the Children's Homes Policies
and Quality Standards. However there is a little Ofsted hidden weapon
that lies at the heart of the new tougher inspection framework and it is
not much publicized. Ofsted released a report previously which they now
claim to be the catalyst underpinning and setting the bar on their new
expectations and Judgment framework! The needs of the children must be
kept in mind while setting all the quality standards for the children. 

 

 

 

The Quality Standards describe outcomes that each child must be supported to achieve while living in the Residential Children's Homes.
Each contains an over-arching, aspirational, child-focused outcome
statement, followed by a non-exhaustive set of underpinning, measurable
requirements that homes must achieve in meeting each standard. Recently,
the companies were working with Residential Children's Homes staff team
who were finding it difficult to discover a young person’s overall
wishes and feelings. 

 

The
Regulation 44 and Quality Standards place major emphasis on the
Statement of purpose like never before! Although part of the intention
of the incoming regulations & quality standards is to focus less on
process and more on outcomes, the truth is that still people need to
plan and ensure that they get it right from the start. A few planned
exercises at the outset are essential. The Regulation 44 sets out
standards (“the Quality Standards”) that must be met by homes. 

 

You
could be easily mistaken into thinking that the guide to the Children's
Homes Policies and Quality Standards 2015, is all you need to consider
from a compliance point of view. This is not the case. The guide is only
half the story. Not only do you have to embed the compliance
requirements of the Regulations & Standards themselves, providers,
managers and staff must consider a raft of legislation and guidance that
Inspectors must and will take account of at Inspection. 

 

The truth is, you are probably already furiously planning as Residential Children's Homes
fast approach the arrival of the Children’s Homes regulations 2015,
incoming quality standards and Ofsted Inspection Framework. Judging by
the flood of calls, it seems that many providers are keen to get the new
requirements embedded and are off to a good start. Residential
Children's Homes must be able to overcome all the requirements of the
children. All their wishes must be granted and their likes as well as
dislikes must also be taken care of.
