Our step-by-step support includes initial property assessment, policy development, and tailored guidance through each phase of the registration process.
Property Suitability Assessment: We conduct an in-depth visit to evaluate the suitability of your property for use as a children’s home or supported accommodation, identifying key factors such as safety, accessibility, layout, and proximity to essential services.
Detailed Action Plan: Following our assessment, we provide an actionable report that outlines necessary modifications, compliance requirements, and suggested enhancements to ensure the property meets all regulatory standards.
Policies and Procedures: We assist in creating comprehensive, Ofsted-compliant policies and procedures that cover all areas of care, safeguarding, and operational requirements.
Staff and Young Person Files: Supporting homes in establishing detailed and organized staff and young person files, we ensure these files meet regulatory standards for documentation, safeguarding, and individualized care planning.
Risk Assessments: We guide homes through the process of creating property and activity-specific risk assessments, covering environmental, health, and behavioral risks to promote a safe and secure environment.
Home Manager and RI Coaching: Our specialized coaching prepares the Registered Individual (RI) and Home Manager for the Ofsted fit persons interview, ensuring they understand regulatory expectations, are confident in articulating their roles, and can effectively present the home’s values, policies, and care standards.
SC1 and SC2 Forms Completion: Our team provides guidance on accurately completing the necessary SC1 (application for registration) and SC2 (responsible individual declaration) forms, ensuring all required documentation is in order.
Essential Documentation Development: We assist with developing core documents, including:
Initial Pre-Registration Inspection: We conduct a pre-registration inspection to identify any final areas that may require adjustment. If needed, additional visits are available to ensure readiness.
