The government’s recent “Keeping Children Safe, Helping Families Thrive” paper signals a transformative approach to children’s social care. As specialists providing residential care and safeguarding services, we’re uniquely positioned to address critical gaps identified in this roadmap.
Particularly striking is the government’s recognition of “a gap in provision for children deprived of their liberty, due to challenging behaviour and complex mental health needs.” This mirrors what we witness daily through our work with local authorities. Our Safeguarding Support Workers are specifically trained to support these young people, creating stable environments where they can develop and thrive despite complex challenges.
The paper emphasizes that “some children need their local authority to step in and provide another form of care because it is in their best interests.” When this happens, our team ensures these transitions are managed with sensitivity and professionalism, prioritising each child’s individual needs through our person-centred approach.
Our Legacy Programme embodies the government’s vision of breaking down barriers to opportunity, providing not just care but pathways to development through mentoring and tailored educational support. By capturing young people’s wishes and feelings throughout this process, we ensure they remain active participants in shaping their futures.

When it comes to the safety and wellbeing of young people, the security industry plays an absolutely vital role. From colleges and universities to concerts, festivals, and other youth events, professional security services are essential for creating a secure environment where young adults can explore, learn, and have fun without falling victim to predators or falling into other dangerous situations.
