A Secure Children's Home provides specialist, tailored care for children with complex needs, bringing together residential care, educational facilities and healthcare provision under one roof. Children are often placed there to protect themselves and others from the high risk they represent. As part of our work at Purposeful Ventures to understand this sector, Sophie Humphreys OBE, Ellena Hyeji Joo and I headed to Wigan yesterday to visit Nugent's Marydale Lodge - the only Secure Children's Home run by a charity. A big thank you to their wonderful Residential Manager Andrea Marshall who was so generous with her time and insights, and to the whole staff team for welcoming us to the home.
