0:01okay so uh the name of our project
0:04is perithin which means belonging and
0:07that for us was about really recognizing
0:09that
0:10children who are in our residential care
0:13belong in newport hi i'm scott i've
0:16lived at rose cottage for over a year
0:18and during that time i've gone from a
0:21small school
0:22to full-time mainstream school made lots
0:25of new friends
0:26and enjoyed our internet in my bedroom
0:30we we started our project really because
0:33although
0:33as a local authority we already had
0:36residential care
0:38and children's homes in newport we also
0:40had a number of children who were placed
0:42away from newport
0:43we wanted to increase the number of
0:44children's homes that we were able to
0:46access within newport
0:48but it's more than that it's not just
0:50about children's home it's about
0:51children's home that really makes a
0:53difference
0:55and creates an environment for children
0:57that provides them with love
0:59and with care what we've seen is an
1:01incredible difference in the children
1:03that have been able to live at rhode1:05cottage and call it their home
1:07an environment that is superb
1:11in terms of how those children feel
1:14and how they feel nurtured and cared for
1:16it's really helped us to think about
1:18what we want1:19in terms of the care for our children
1:21the development of rose cottage the
1:23improvement in our other children's
1:24homes and the thinking about the care
1:28has given us a way forward
