Independent Regulation 44 Visits
Independent oversight that keeps children's experiences at the centre.
I provide Regulation 44 visits and reports for children's homes across Yorkshire and the East Midlands, helping providers understand what is working well, where children may be at risk, and what needs to improve.
As a registered social worker and practising Responsible Individual, I bring experience of safeguarding, residential care and governance. My approach combines constructive professional challenge with clear, evidence-led reporting on whether children are effectively safeguarded and the home's conduct promotes their wellbeing.
What my visits include:
Each visit and report is tailored to the home, but typically covers:
- Time with children, hearing about their experiences of care in whichever way suits them best
- Speaking with the adults who work in the home about practice, safeguarding and the support they receive
- Reviewing the home's documentation, including daily records, safeguarding decisions and how children's views are reflected in care planning
- A clear, evidence-led report for the Registered Manager and Responsible Individual, identifying what is working well, any risks or shortfalls, and what needs to improve
Reports are completed promptly after each visit, so findings are useful while they are still current.
Independence you can evidence:
As an independent visitor, I am not involved in the day-to-day operation of any home I visit. Before accepting any appointment I check for conflicts of interest, and my reports go to the Registered Manager and Responsible Individual on the same basis every month - honest, evidence-led and unhurried by anything other than the children's experiences.
