State of this children's home in Lancashire, run by the private company Care 4 Children Residential Services Ltd: this Ofsted report was uploaded today files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/501600…
Firstly, it is a shit hole (excuse the language, but...) 
A child's clothes and shoes are taken away to stop him from running away.
The home is short-staffed and in chaos.
Staff take under-age children to buy cigarettes.

Care 4 Children provides children's homes and foster care for some 100 local authorities and is responsible for 150 children and young people.
Its latest accounts reveal that it was paid more than £17 million by local authorities last year and earned profits of £2.5 million. But it can't fix the heating at a children's home in Lancashire.

It doesn't have to be this way.
