Some real conartists involved in running children's homes.
Staff at a firm whose chief was touted as a speaker on how to make thousands of pounds from children's homes had to buy a child essential items themselves.
Toiletries, towels and bedding were purchased by staff at a home run by Northamptonshire-based Bttlr Limited, according to Ofsted, because there had been "no money available" to them.
Director Lizzy Ringisai was advertised to speak at webinars, with one on how to earn up to £14,000 per child a week.
She has yet to respond to the BBC.
In March, Ofsted social care inspector Caroline Brailsford visited one of its home. Ms Brailsford said the complaints included that "staffing arrangements were not sufficient" and were over "concerns about a lack of money in the home to meet the child's needs".
Other findings included that staff were not "appropriately qualified", that staff felt pressured to work extra shifts and that low staff morale was having a negative impact on the care.
The report also said: "Staff say that they do not have access to sufficient funds to purchase household items or to provide a range of activities for the child.
"There was no petty cash in the home on the day of the monitoring visit. Staff have purchased toiletries, towels, bedding, pens and paper out of their own money because there has been no money available."
