Regulation 44 Visits for Children’s Homes
At HLTH Group, we recognise that children’s homes have a vital responsibility to provide safe, high-quality care to vulnerable children and young people. Regulation 44 visits are essential in ensuring these homes meet the required standards set out in the Children’s Homes (England) Regulations 2015. These visits are a legal requirement for all children’s homes and are conducted to assess whether the home is providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for the children in its care.
Comprehensive Review Process
Our team of specialists—comprising former Ofsted inspectors, sector experts, Registered Managers, and Responsible Individuals—brings invaluable experience and insight into each Regulation 44 visit. We go beyond routine compliance checks, treating each visit as part of a long-term, strategic approach to improve care quality and regulatory adherence.
- Safeguarding and Welfare: Assessing child protection policies, staff training, and the home’s overall safety.
- Health and Wellbeing: Reviewing medication management, mental health support, and risk assessments.
- Education and Development: Evaluating access to education, learning support, and personal development opportunities.
- Children’s Rights and Participation: Ensuring children’s views are heard and incorporated into care planning.
- Environment and Facilities: Reviewing health and safety, cleanliness, comfort, and overall security.
Strategic Focus for Continuous Improvement
At HLTH Group, we don’t view Regulation 44 visits as a one-off event. Instead, we take a long-term, strategic approach to compliance, fostering continuous improvement.

Navigating the complex landscape of healthcare and children’s care compliance is essential for any provider aiming to meet the rigorous standards set by regulatory bodies. The CQC and Ofsted registration processes demand a meticulous approach to ensure adherence to fundamental standards. From CQC and Ofsted policies and procedures to compliance evidence, every detail must align with CQC and Ofsted guidance to achieve outstanding results. A comprehensive compliance checklist is invaluable in maintaining the highest standards in health and social care, as well as children’s residential care.
The Well-Led aspect of CQC and Ofsted is pivotal, emphasising the importance of robust management and governance. This extends to the CQC Registered Manager and Ofsted Responsible Individual, who must meet specific requirements and demonstrate expertise in compliance and leadership.
The CQC’s New Single Assessment Framework and Ofsted’s Quality Standards play a crucial role in inspections and ongoing compliance, facilitating a holistic evaluation of all regulated services. Whether you’re in domiciliary care, GP practice, nursing home, private clinic, ambulance service, or operating a children’s home, your policies and procedures must reflect the latest legislative and regulatory updates.
