Lancashire County Council looks set to double the number of children’s homes it runs in a move the authority claims will improve the lives of young people in its care – and reduce its reliance on costly private placements.Fifteen new facilities would be created under the plans, which are expected to get the green light from cabinet members next week.
According to cabinet papers, 83 children are currently living in homes that are classed as high cost – generating bills of £6,000 or more per week. While Lancashire has more children’s homes across the private and public sector than any other local authority in England – 274 in total – 70 percent of the private agency facilities are not providing homes for Lancashire children, the cabinet report says.
A group of homes within each cluster would be overseen by a Home Manager, each of whom would be responsible for between seven and eight children.
