Understanding residential care for children in care in England

In this podcast, Head of Practice Development, Nimal Jude, looks at our report into understanding residential care. With Eve Smyth, Quantitative Research Associate, she discusses what the findings tell us about who the children are living in these placements, as well as their journeys before and after entering the system.   She also talks to Lisa Pascoe, Deputy Director of Regulation and Social Care Policy at Ofsted, to discuss the findings further, Ofsted’s role in residential care and what our findings could mean for the sector.  Understanding residential care for children in care in England is part of a series of research we contributed to the recent Independent Review of Children’s Social Care.
