I have been working with Calcot Services for Children for a number of years and when there are new members to my team, I can’t wait to bring them to see the homes – just like a family home, with lots of photos – this is just what they (YP) need.

My first thoughts being, what a lovely house and how it was so different from some of the care homes that I have visited in the past.

It’s lovely to read how happy the children are in their respective homes and despite the difficulties, they still feel safe and happy. Well done to all the teams and their managers within the homes.
