A children's home has been criticised for having an "unhomely" atmosphere after an inspection found holes in the ceiling and vulnerable youngsters sleeping in broken beds.
External inspectors who visited the Edinburgh council-run Heathervale Young People's Centre said work was needed to improve the setting of the home, as the issues - which included leaking windows, "badly marked" walls and a broken TV - were impacting kids' "sense of worth".
A lack of permanent staff at the small Wester Hailes childrens' unit was also flagged as an issue, leaving some in care there "frustrated".
