There are currently four children's homes in Gloucestershire, two are managed by Gloucestershire County Council and two are managed by an independent provider. Plans have now been approved for a new contract that will mean all four homes are managed by a single organisation. This will enable the service to become more flexible in how it meets the needs of disabled children and young people and their families. Alison Cathles, commissioning project manager, Aiming High for Disabled Children, said: "As this will be a large contract covering the operation of all children's homes across the county we believe it will be attractive to a number of providers, including the best providers."
