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.
