A DAMNING investigation has revealed further reasons why a children’s residential home was forced to close. Green Hill Lodge in Worcester closed last year following a review by inspectors Ofsted which raised “serious concerns” about the “poorly managed” children’s home. A critical whistleblowing report has now revealed how an assistant manager resigned due to a lack of support after being assaulted by a child, how young people were supplying drugs at the home and how two children that had been drinking escaped the home and fled in a stolen vehicle. The investigation found that staff did not feel comfortable whistleblowing about their concerns and feared they would not be dealt with properly.

TEACHERS at a Worcester primary school have been vaccinated against Covid. Staff at Riversides School in Barbourne have all been given the vaccine due to the fact they are working in close contact with children with additional needs and vulnerabilities. Tina Russell, director of social care and safeguarding at Worcestershire Children First, said: “These individuals are in prolonged close contact with and provide personal care to children and young people, who have additional needs and many are clinically extremely vulnerable. “All frontline staff in special schools in Worcestershire have been offered the vaccine as part of the vaccination roll-out across the county which is being run by the NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire CCG.”
