The Purpose of a Residential Children’s Home
The purpose of a residential children’s home is to provide children and young people with the support and stability they may not have experienced in their family environment. For children who cannot live with their birth families due to circumstances such as abuse, neglect, or family breakdown, a residential home offers a secure, nurturing environment where their emotional, physical, and social needs are met.
Residential homes are designed to meet the educational, emotional, and social needs of young people. They provide opportunities for children to develop confidence, build relationships, and acquire life skills. At Welcare, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their past experiences.
