I suggest you get a copy of the Commission for Social Care Inspectorate Standards for Children's homes which give a lot of information on what will be inspected. Children's homes along with adults homes are not inspected by HSE, they are inspected by CSCI on a concordat with HSE as they inspect much more than health and safety.
Funding depends on ownership, LA homes are funded directly, private ones are businesses and charge LAs for placements.
The main risk is violence to staff from young people, but there may also be risks to young people from suicide so it is usually a good idea to check the home for ligature points.
Hope this helps
Linda
