Well first you have to consider at what point they are 'in their care'. From the moment they are picked up in the minibus or from the minute they leave their parents house?

Personally, I think it's from when they are collected and they remain in their parents care until that point.

Although I do agree that the pick up point doesn't sound a good one and discussion with the Hope Centre to find a better one is a good idea.
