SUMMARY
This research, which is being used to inform the Department for Education's children's home reform programme, was the first of its kind. The researchers aimed to gather detailed information about the qualifications of staff in children's homes, including whether staff met statutory qualification requirements, pay, training and continuous professional development in the sector.
In total 841 children's homes took part in the survey, which took place between October 2013 and May 2014, comprising just under half – 49 per cent – of all children's homes in England. The sample excluded secure homes and homes that were also registered as schools.
