Children's Residential Homes
We have a number of children's residential homes which care for young people.
Each residential care home is required by law to have a Statement of Purpose which describes the function and philosophy of the children's residential home.
- Benson Lane and Dacre Avenue are community homes providing a long term or permanent place for young people to live.
- Wasdale provides short term breaks for children who have a learning disability and/or physical disability or sensory impairment.
- York Villas is a residential home for children and young people of both sexes who are between the ages of 8 and 18 and who have learning, physical or sensory disabilities.
Statement of Purpose
A Statement of Purpose explains in detail the overall purpose of a children's residential home and also describes the following:
- the aims and objectives
- the values
- rights and responsibilities
- facilities provided
- staffing details
- and more.
The Statement of Purpose for Benson Lane, Wasdale, York Villas and Dacre Avenue can be viewed in 'Downloads'.
