A secure children’s home near Bristol is “already improving” two months after a damning Ofsted report, council bosses claim.
Last week it emerged that Vinney Green, in Emersons Green, had been using “unlawful and painful” physical restraints on children. Ofsted published its report slamming the institute for young offenders run by South Gloucestershire Council, after an inspection in April.
The council’s cabinet has now promised conditions at the home are getting better, outside experts have been brought in to change the home’s culture, and Ofsted has since been back to reinspect the home. But opposition councillors remained concerned.
