Pros
Lots of enjoyable activities with the children, good autonomy without micromanagement, and some genuinely lovely colleagues.
Cons
Concerns raised regarding the safety and wellbeing of children are not acted upon. This appears to be part of a wider organisational culture that extends to the highest levels of management, including the DSL. Instead of appropriate disciplinary action, staff are often moved between homes. There is a strong sense that maintaining the organisation’s OFSTED rating is prioritised over genuine child welfare.
