Homes which meet the personal, social, health and educational needs of children are much more likely to be safe places for children than those who do not (ref: Utting, 1997).

If you are interested in learning more about what children's homes may be like, and the rationale that may go into their design, visit the report entitled 'Designing with care'. This can also be found in the websites section of the Extra resources.
