Referral information
When a placing authority makes a referral, we receive personal and sensitive information about a young person so that we can assess whether one of our homes is right for them. This information is handled under our data protection obligations and our safeguarding duties, is shared only with those involved in the young person's care, and is kept securely.
Children's privacy
We do not publish photographs of the children and young people in our care, and for safeguarding reasons we do not publish the full addresses of our homes on this website.
Third-party services
