of places in children's homes is rocketing. from oxfordshire to cheshire, local authorities across england are confronted by this. here in warrington, a new children's home opened in april. this home is part of a trial scheme. the aim is simple. minimise how long children are in the home and put money and effort into stopping them ending up here in the first place. this is a lighthouse. the reason why it's called the lighthouse is that it's a beacon of light for the young people going through theirjourney. right. let's have a look. what we have here? so this is our chillout area. it's yes to beanbags and to mobile phones in here. there are six bedrooms, two reserved for emergency last—minute admissions. this is an insight for most of us into something that is out of sight, unseen, unheard of, perhaps little thought about. and yet it is about some of society's most vulnerable.
