In their application, Ease Assist emphasizes that placements will prioritize children from Barnsley, in a bid to foster stability for young people in care.
Regular risk assessments will be conducted in collaboration with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council to ensure a safe environment for the children, who, it is noted, do not have a criminal history and are simply in need of supportive care.
Ease Assist add that the care home will mirror a typical family dwelling, with comings and goings comparable, or less frequent, than those of a family of five.
The application also outlines strict guidelines for visitors, with overnight stays prohibited and late-night visits restricted, in a bid to maintain peace in the neighborhood.
