Keys Child Care, owned by private equity and treating vulnerable children like profit centres. Here's Ofsted raising concerns about one of its children's homes in Warrington. Another shocker.

So much that is awful here, but this tells you all you need to know: a child told she had to wait until staff were awake to get dressed.
In effect, Keys is charging local authorities for therapeutic care that it does not provide. Most people would call this fraud.
They are using alarms to monitor the movements of each and every child.
Staff rotas are a work of fiction. We have no idea who cares for the children. Have I mentioned fraud yet?
The 'physical environment of the home needs improvement' is Ofsted-speak for "It's a shit hole not fit for our own sons and daughters."
Keys billed local authorities £80 million to provide homes for children and young people in care last year.

Mostly to fund the offshore lifestyles of the suits at G Square Private Equity.
In case you think I'm making this stuff up, here is the Ofsted report https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50153543
I'd love this thread to be shared (and read) half as many times as my earlier one. But sadly, people will mostly read past it.
