  • To keep well-informed of legislation, guidelines, and policies to ensure the Children's Act, Children's Homes Regulations, and the National Minimum Standards are met at all times.
  • To observe and assess young people's progress and keep accurate records of their achievements, behavior, and important events in their lives.
  • To work with local authorities and placing authorities to ensure the care the young people receive is outstanding.
