Children's Homes Hub Research

Children's Home Workforce Research 2026

The first Children's Homes Hub recruitment and retention study helped establish what people working across children's residential care are experiencing.

This next study goes deeper. We're exploring where recruitment breaks down, how workforce pressures affect managers and homes, what appears to help people stay and where practical improvements could make the greatest difference.
