Our Impact

2025 was a fantastic year, we started The Learning Culture. Over the the course of 12 months, we were able to establish relationships with 12 homes, committed to an open Learning Culture across Yorkshire, Humber and The North East.

In 2026 we are going to be able to support a small number of homes, who are committed to developing safe, trauma informed care for young people.

"The report offered an opportunity to reflect on how we acknowledge young people’s progress and consider how we can continue to develop this as a team."

"[Since Martin started] our Regulation 44 visits have improved in focus and now capture children’s views more thoroughly, providing meaningful independent oversight. Feedback has been constructive and supports ongoing refinement of practice."

Registered Manager - October 2025

"Regulation 44 visits have supported us to recognise some of the issues in the home and have been a great line of support in respect of development. This proved to be a very supportive process to help drive us forward in achieving the children’s outcomes and creating a safe and nurturing environment.
