A post-election briefing for councillors, new and old. What is Residential Child Care and why does it matter?
Yesterday we published a blog following the elections Let us be clear – The future of Residential Child Care is in the hands of the sector – NCERCC
We think this could be a determining moment as new inexperienced councillors move into decision making positions.
We promised to publish today a briefing for homes to use with new and old councillors, informing them of residential work, and for you to use inviting them to see.
Download the briefing for councillors here.

How to use it
Invite your councillors to visit and when they do be ready for everyone to tell them ( joining with our colleagues in Foster Care Fortnight)
- One thing you love about Residential Child Care
- One thing that gets in the way of even better Residential Child Care
- One idea that could make Residential Child Care stronger in the future
There’s an old Residential Child Care saying: ‘Show, don’t tell’.
Show the head, heart and hands of Residential Child Care. Care shown through relationships, love and belonging. Show the skill, the expertise – how we keep children safe and feeling safe, how we keep children in mind emotionally. Show how we promote stability and belonging.
Extraordinary things are achieved every day in Residential Child Care.
