Plans for a small children’s home in Worksop are expected to be approved despite resident and police concerns over existing anti-social behaviour problems. Applicant Sal Integrated Care has asked to change the use of a detached dwelling to a children’s home for a maximum of four children with two carers sleeping overnight.
The house in Manton would care for children between the ages of eight and 18. It would be subject to annual inspections by Ofsted.
The plans will be discussed at a Bassetlaw District Council planning meeting on Wednesday (March 29). Sal Integrated Care said it specialises in supporting children who sometimes display emotional and behavioural difficulties linked to experiences of neglect and abuse.
