If some pupils live at your school for most of the year, when other schools are on holiday, then your school could be a children’s home as well as a school. This means that the staff have to keep to the children’s homes rules, and not the residential special school ones this Guide is about.
There is a special Guide to the Children’s Homes Standards. You can read it on the children’s website www.rights4me.org.uk.
This site is produced by the National Children’s Bureau.
