    State of this children's home run by the private company Adecyn. Just weeks after Ofsted found serious shortcomings, a whistleblower suggests managers are breaking regulations. Ofsted returns to find little has changed and children are still at risk.pic.twitter.com/Hx4moOzNob

        Adecyn claims (on its own website) to be motivated by the failings of others in the care system. ('Family orientated business is always a red flag in home run for profit).pic.twitter.com/6yZAdODZA1

        As you read it, please remember that this is a child's home. They have nowhere else.

        The #ICHA represents for-profit operators of children's homes like this. Do give them a wave.

        Replying to @MartinBarrow

        Your sharing Ofsted reports identifying poor & unacceptable care is hard to read but highlight the importance of thorough independent regulation & monitoring to the wellbeing of children in care. Ofsted take a lot of stick, but some of us remember what it was like pre-regulation
