Welcome to Barnardo’s Residential: North

We provide residential children’s homes in the North of England.

Find out about our homes, how you can join our growing teams, and read real- life experiences from some of our cared for children.

What is a children’s home?

Every local authority has a legal obligation to make sure all children in their area have a safe and nurturing environment to live when they can’t live with their families. The common reasons for the establishment of children’s homes are:

Children’s homes are regulated and inspected by Ofsted.

Why do we provide children’s homes?

Barnardo’s has been changing childhoods and changing lives for over 150 years.

In 1867, Thomas John Barnardo opened his first home for boys where the boys were able to live and learn carpentry, metalwork, and shoemaking, and get help getting into apprenticeships. Barnardo believed that every child deserved the best possible start in life, whatever their background.

This philosophy still guides our work with children, young people, and families today.

We believe that our homes offer children and young people a safe and nurturing environment, where they are accepted as individuals, can be supported to start to recover from their trauma, and develop their opportunities for success in later life.
