Staff at a Renfrewshire facility caring for vulnerable young people have been left anxious at having to restrain youngsters in their care without the proper training.
An unannounced inspection by the care watchdog recently led to a letter of serious concern being issued to Renfrewshire Council which is the care provider at Rowanlea House on Barochan Road in Johnstone.
The Care Inspectorate was damning in its criticism of the management of the residential children’s house, saying that “at times, young people living in the house were not kept safe”.
