Consultancy Services

From start-up support for new homes to service redesign and crisis management, our consultancy services are flexible and responsive to your needs. We work in partnership with you to create lasting, positive change for children and young people in your care. 

 We provide independent, robust monthly visits in line with Regulation 44 of the Children’s Homes (England) Regulations 2015. Our reports are thorough, child-focused, and aligned with Ofsted expectations, offering constructive feedback and highlighting good practice and areas for development. 

Our detailed pre-inspection audits help you prepare confidently for Ofsted visits. We review compliance with regulations, evaluate the quality of care, and support action planning to address any shortfalls. This includes mock interviews and readiness checks for staff and managers. 

 We offer bespoke coaching and mentoring for Registered Managers and aspiring leaders, focusing on leadership development, confidence building, strategic thinking, and problem-solving within the unique context of residential childcare. 

Professional, reflective supervision sessions for Registered Managers, delivered by experienced sector specialists. These sessions support accountability, well-being, and development.

We provide independent advice and practical support for handling complex complaints and conducting investigations. Our service is impartial, timely, and fully aligned with statutory guidance and your organisational policies. 

We review and revise your policies and procedures to ensure they are up to date, compliant with current legislation and best practice, and accessible for staff teams. We can also assist with the development of bespoke policies tailored to your home's ethos. 

If your home receives a compliance notice from Ofsted, we offer immediate, hands-on support. We help you understand the notice, develop a clear and achievable action plan, and provide guidance to ensure rapid and sustainable improvement.
