Ofsted Readiness Score
Real-time SCCIF scoring across all 4 judgement areas (Leadership, Practice, Children, Carers). Know your likely grade before the inspector arrives.
AI-Powered Search

Compliance Engine
DBS renewals, supervision schedules, training deadlines, unannounced visits — all tracked automatically with alerts before anything expires.
AI Supervision Prep
Click "Prepare for supervision" on any carer and get a briefing pack: recent chronology, placement updates, compliance status, and suggested discussion points.
Board Report Generation
One click generates a comprehensive quarterly board report from your live data. Placement statistics, compliance rates, referral trends, and SCCIF alignment.
Carer Lifecycle Management
From initial enquiry through Stage 1 & 2 assessment, panel, approval, to deregistration. Every step tracked with the documents and dates Ofsted expects.
Placement Matching
Algorithmic matching scores carers against child needs across 7 factors: capacity, age range, compliance, location, experience, sibling capacity, and placement type.
Incident & Safeguarding
Structured incident reporting with severity levels, LADO notifications, Schedule 7 tracking, and automated notification cascades to the right people.
One-Click Inspection Pack
When Ofsted calls, generate your entire inspection evidence pack in one click — carer summary, compliance overview, placement stability data, and policy documents.
Child's Voice Tracker
Records what children say they want, then tracks whether the agency acted on it. These "Feedback → Action" loops are exactly what separates Good from Outstanding.
Automated Notifications
Compliance alerts, supervision reminders, referral updates, and placement changes — all sent automatically to the right staff member via email and in-app notifications.
