A children's home in Rotherham looks set to close next month, external, weeks after inspectors from education watchdog Ofsted branded it "inadequate".
St Edmund's, in Thurcroft, was criticised by inspectors last month. Earlier this year, another Rotherham children's home, Woodview in Kimberworth, was closed amid fears youngsters were at risk of exploitation there.

I've had some sneaky access to the studio where Sheffield artist Pete Mckee's currently painting one of the 60 elephants which are due to trundle into Sheffield next year.
The project is to raise money for Sheffield Children's Hospital.
One side of Pete's elephant features Sheffield's "buffer girls", who worked in the city's metals trade polishing cutlery and silverware, the other side features the men who risked their lives in the steel industry.
The whole idea of the Sheffield Elephants is inspired by Lizzie, an elephant drafted in to work in a Sheffield steelworks when all the horses were taken to France during World War One.
Louise Haigh, the Labour MP for Heeley in Sheffield, says she'll vote against air strikes in Syria.
