Resources for Childrens Homes

Resources for Children's Homes brings together the contacts, guidance and directories that registered managers, responsible individuals and staff in children's homes need day to day — so you're not searching multiple websites to find a number, a website, or a starting point. Resources for Childrens Homes is free to download. A one-time in-app purchase of £6.99 unlocks full access to every feature, permanently — there's no subscription and no recurring charge. WHAT'S INSIDE The Directory is organised into clear categories: - Regulation & Inspection — key regulatory bodies and official guidance - Local Authorities — Children's Services — referral and safeguarding contact numbers for all 153 local authorities in England, including out-of-hours lines - Children's Homes — a directory of registered children's home providers and their websites - Safeguarding & Reporting — national helplines and reporting routes - Recording Systems — case management, rota and medication recording software used across the sector - Policies & Procedures — providers of model policies and procedure manuals - Physical Intervention — accredited restraint and de-escalation training providers, plus the official certification register - Advocacy & Children's Rights — organisations providing independent advocacy for children and young people in care - REG 44 Visitors — independent visiting services and the relevant legislation - Training — awarding bodies and providers for the Level 3 and Level 5 Diplomas in Residential Childcare, plus other sector training - Member Associations — trade and membership bodies for the sector - Unions — trade unions representing care and social care staff Every entry includes what's publicly available — phone number, email and website — with tap-to-call and tap-to-email built in, and a search bar within each category so you can find what you need quickly. The Welcome screen gives a plain-English overview of how to use the app, and a Feedback tab lets you suggest corrections, new entries, or features directly from within the app. WHO IT'S FOR Registered managers, responsible individuals, deputy managers and care staff working in Ofsted-registered children's homes in England who want a fast, organised reference point instead of searching separately for each contact or resource.

IMPORTANT This app is an independent reference tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by Ofsted, the Department for Education, the Children's Homes Association, or any local authority. Contact details are compiled from publicly available sources and reviewed periodically, but organisations change their numbers, staff and websites over time. Always verify time-critical or safeguarding-related contact details directly with the organisation concerned, and in an emergency, contact the police or relevant emergency services directly rather than relying solely on this app. Listing a provider, training body, software vendor, or other organisation in this app does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement, and some listings may be marked as featured (paid) placements, which are clearly labelled as such within the app.ONE-OFF PURCHASE This app is unlocked with a single one-time purchase — no subscription, and no further payments.
