Housing & Residential Care

Supporting residential care providers with practical safeguarding training focused on protecting children, recognising risk, responding to concerns and creating safer care environments.

Children’s residential care homes play a vital role in providing safe, structured and supportive environments for some of the most vulnerable children and young people in society. Staff working in these settings are responsible for safeguarding children who may have experienced trauma, abuse, neglect or exploitation.

Due to this, care home environments can present complex safeguarding challenges, including child exploitation, missing episodes, criminal exploitation (County Lines), and other forms of vulnerability.

STC Safeguarding delivers CPD-accredited training specifically designed for children’s residential care settings. Our training is practical, scenario-based and focused on real-life situations faced by frontline care staff.

Delivered online or face-to-face, our programmes help teams build confidence, strengthen safeguarding responses and create safer, more consistent care environments.
