This new service will have at its core a commitment to evidence based progressive theory and practice. As part of this development the council is seeking a partner from the Independent Sector to provide a dedicated residential care home. For the chosen provider of the residential care home, this represents an exciting opportunity to contribute to a new way of working with a high DfE profile. A key element of this scheme will be that the provider's staff team, involved in this project, will receive full training in social Pedagogy and Restorative practice funded by the purchaser. The scheme will also be externally evaluated for evidence of impact and the results will be of national standing.
