Running a children’s home comes with strict regulations and high expectations. Writing policies from scratch can take weeks and risks leaving gaps that could cost you during inspection. That’s why we’ve created a complete suite of ready to use policies, covering every aspect of managing a compliant, safe, and high quality children’s home.
 
From safeguarding, staff management, and admissions to health & safety, infection control, fire safety, and compliance with the Children’s Homes Regulations 2015, our policies are:
 
✅ Professionally written by experienced providers & consultants
✅ Inspection-ready for Ofsted and local authority standards
✅ Comprehensive – covering business management, compliance, children’s rights, care planning, education, recreation, and more
✅ Customisable – adapt to your home’s needs while saving hours of work
Instead of spending valuable time drafting documents, you can focus on what matters most: caring for children and running a safe, compliant home.
