A private Lancashire children’s home for youngsters with special needs has once again failed for the 4th time running to meet required safety and care standards, according to a new report from ofsted.

The report revealed the home at Mountwood Academy, near Preston, had still not met demands for improvement set by the Government inspection service Ofsted.


The Academy, run by Roc Northwest Ltd who has suffered from financial issues and lack of care quality in the past 2 years provides accommodation and education for youngsters on the autistic spectrum and learning difficulties. The children’s home was judged as requiring improvement to be partly good at a full inspection in April.

After a monitoring inspection in August compliance notices were issued and the Academy was ordered to reduce its number of residents to a maximum of 10 children.


Inspectors returned on September 24 to see if there was any improvements and concluded in a report published just days ago : “The provider has continued to fail to ensure that children are protected from harm and that risks to children’s safety and well-being are not managed effectively in the care they need".


"Furthermore, evidence was found to demonstrate that managers do not have the ability to monitor safety and quality across the homes sufficiently and do not have the experience to run a home. In addition the provider has consistently failed to operate the home in accordance with the regulations.”


Inspectors also noted that factual inaccuracies were identified in some examples of updated risk assessments and some risk management plans lacked clear guidance. It found unsafe food hygiene practices that food was stashed in cupboards and dirty kitchen equipment lying around. and a totally unsafe living environment for young people.


Roc Northwest refuse to comment, however there is a full investigation underway

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
