Residents assaulted and a staff member ordered Taser for protection - more care firm failings found by BBC.
Oliver Munday is one of more than a 100 young people feared to have been harmed in Hesley's homes and residential special schoolsA company which ran children's homes where residents were systemically abused also failed to prevent adults being harmed, BBC News has learned.
Vulnerable young adults were found to have faced physical and psychological abuse at its Hesley Village and College, according to a leaked 2010 Doncaster Council investigation She believes her son faced abuse and neglect despite his placement costing taxpayers around £300,000 a year. One email sent to the chief executive Chris McSharry - among dozens seen by the BBC - shares her concerns of a "culture of institutional abuse" two years before the site's closure.The BBC has obtained a confidential report - produced by Doncaster Council - which reveals how vulnerable young adults were abused in a Hesley home in 2010 - eight years before assaults are documented to have begun at the children's homes.
Hesley says changes were made in response to the 2010 investigation and "poor outcomes" it was aware of at the time - and regulators were "satisfied". The report found thresholds which required staff to be suspended were met but not followed, and risk "was simply transferred" by moving support workers to care for different children.
The findings are "deeply shocking", says Robin Walker MP - the Conservative chair of the Education Select Committee.
