Residential Care provides a homely setting for children who are experiencing various types of dysfunction with their natural families and are in need of care and protection. Consequently, they have to be provided with alternative living arrangements. Residential Care is usually provided as a last resort when all other options for family and community placements have been explored without success.
It is generally viewed as a temporary placement while continuous efforts are made to provide opportunities for children to be reunited with their natural families or re-integrated into the community with significant others.
Officers in Residential Care provide counselling and other forms of intervention to the children and their parents and guardians in an effort to help them regain an acceptable level of functionalism and stability as individuals and families within their homes and wider society.
