Children & families
Registered secure children’s homes
A secure-home project needs an early feasibility and approvals review, before the property, staffing and registration work are committed.
Before you start
This is a specialist development, not a standard home application.
We help organise the project around the proposed placements, commissioning demand, premises, care model and specialist approvals. Legal, clinical, safeguarding, education and building expertise must be identified and costed at the outset.
What we help you prepare
- Clarify the proposed service, placement arrangements and commissioning plan.
- Map the required approvals and the order in which they must be obtained.
- Coordinate the service plan, evidence and input from specialist advisers.
- Prepare leadership, operational systems and registration-readiness work.
For existing providers
Support after opening.
For an operating service, the support can focus on inspection preparation, action-plan coordination, governance evidence or a proposed change. We agree the specialist team and our responsibilities before accepting the work.
