A campaigner says continued objections from residents against setting up small children’s homes in communities is “deeply troubling” and has called for a greater understanding of the initiative.
Terry Galloway, who grew up in care himself and now campaigns for greater protections for care leavers, says objections to new children’s homes are happening “absolutely everywhere”.
Many local councils responsible for social care are now adapting smaller family homes for two to three children in safe communities, rather than running large institutions.
