Independent Regulation 44 visiting and reporting, Reg 44 Flow for independent visitors, and Nurtured Practice tools for home improvement and consultancy reviews. A separate Team Reflection meeting tool is coming soon.

Home Edition is designed for ongoing reflection and improvement within children’s homes. Consultancy Edition supports consultants carrying out independent reviews and preparing reports. Compare the editions.

No. The prompts, guidance and structure support people to make and record their own professional judgements. It supports reflection and improvement; decisions remain with the people using it.

The standard service includes a minimum of three hours on site. The time required depends on the size and activity of the home.

Visits may be announced or unannounced. Practical arrangements are discussed with the provider while preserving the independence of the role.

A visit may include observation of the home, discussion with children and staff where appropriate, review of relevant records, and contact with parents, carers or professionals where relevant.

The written Regulation 44 report is normally completed within five working days of the visit.

The independent visitor monitors and reports. The visitor does not manage the home, direct staff, implement changes or replace the provider’s management and quality assurance responsibilities.

Home Edition uses account-based cloud saving. Consultancy Edition stores reviews in the browser on the consultant’s computer and provides backup and restore tools. Consultancy reviews do not automatically sync between people or devices.

Team Reflection is a separate, focused staff-meeting tool: agendas, coaching and reflection prompts, minutes and action follow-up. Home Edition supports wider, ongoing reflection and improvement. They are not automatically connected. Explore Team Reflection.
