The problem

The admin never stops. The support never started.

Children's homes run on local authority placements worth thousands a week — and lose them over process failures, not care failures. The numbers tell the story.

6 monthsbetween every Reg 45 review — with no official template. Ofsted's own blog admits the confusion.
12 visits a yearof Reg 44 reports you pay for — that inspectors then judge you on.
59% of homesstruggle to recruit managers. Admin load is a big reason they leave.
Good or aboveis what most LA frameworks demand. The commonest failures? Process, not care.
The platform

Everything Ofsted expects. One quiet system.

Not a case-management system. Not adult social care software with the labels swapped. Every document maps to the Children's Homes Regulations 2015 and the Quality Standards — clause by clause.

A policy library that stays current

The full suite, version-controlled, with plain-English updates whenever regulation or guidance changes. You get told what changed and why — not left to spot it.

Reg 45 reports that build themselves

Log incidents, complaints, education and health as they happen. When the six months are up, your review is already drafted — ready inside the 28-day window.

Reg 44: every visit, every action

Evidence packs prepared before your independent visitor arrives. Actions from all 12 annual reports tracked to closure — so the reports you pay for stop becoming inspection findings.

A Statement of Purpose that stays true

A living document that prompts you when staffing or qualifications change — one of the commonest inspection failures, quietly eliminated.

An audit trail that protects you

Every notification logged with a timestamp. When it matters, you can prove exactly what was sent and when.

"If Ofsted arrived tomorrow"

An SCCIF-mapped self-audit that scores where you stand and lists the gaps — before the inspector does.
