Westfields Children's Home is Good in All Areas

Following a full and thorough inspection by Ofsted on 28th-29th June 2022, and the publication of the Inspection Report, I am extremely pleased to congratulate the Adults and Children of Westfields Children's Home on achieving the Ofsted Judgement of Good In All Areas.
"One child wrote individually to members of staff to thank them for the care they had received. This showed that staff in the home had made a meaningful impact on the child."
"Feedback from one child’s social worker was positive. They said, ‘I will be forever grateful to them, as will [child]. I would not hesitate in putting another young person with them.’"
"Careful consideration is given to children’s interests and risks."
"Children like living at the home and enjoy the activities on offer. Staff are knowledgeable about children’s plans, their risks and the things they like to do."
"When children display behaviour that is not socially acceptable, staff provide bespoke support."
"Group consultancy meetings and reflective debriefs help to identify triggers to behaviour."
