Childrens homes have cultures which vary from the benign to the
malignant. Using a distinctive cross-institutional design, this
study of 48 childrens homes shows how some were characterised by
widespread bullying, delinquency and low morale among both staff
and residents whilst others were relatively peaceful and friendly.
These differences are explained by the way these homes were
resourced, managed and run, thus providing lessons for the future.
This accessible text provides
- a much-needed insight into the management of childrens homes
and the impact on their residents
- perspectives from a large sample of children, parents, staff
and social workers
- an examination of the effect on staff and residents of features
such as the size of the home, staff ratios, the proportion of
trained staff and the approach of the head
Commissioned by the Department of Health, this study is essential
reading for practitioners in the social and welfare services and
others with an interest in the well-being of deprived, troubled or
delinquent young people.
