English children’s homes are in crisis. Does Denmark hold the answers?

In Denmark, children's homes like Josephine Schneider’s House are seen as exemplary models for care, contrasting sharply with the UK's struggling system. The British government is studying these homes to reform its own failing children's care system, where many children live in illegal homes. The Danish model emphasizes therapeutic support, family-like environments, and well-trained staff, which are lacking in the UK. The UK faces challenges with high turnover rates among staff and a profit-driven system, while Denmark benefits from extensive state funding and a commitment to child welfare. The UK children's minister aims to adopt some Danish practices to improve care standards.
