'Failing standards' in care homes
Updated on 08 July 2008
One in 10 children's homes is failing to meet the required standards for keeping youngsters in their care safe, an Ofsted-led report has found.
It identified "inadequacies" in staffing and management, compliance with health and safety regulations and the administration of medication.
The failings were highlighted in the third Safeguarding Children Review, which assesses how well agencies are working at local and national levels to safeguard children and young people.
