Make Regulation 44 Information Easier to Access and Review

Independent visits provide external scrutiny of the home’s arrangements and the experiences of children.

When information is scattered across paper files, spreadsheets and disconnected systems, retrieving relevant records can create unnecessary work.

YourClouds helps keep operational information organised as part of everyday practice.

Keep relevant information organised

Depending on your organisation’s configuration and the information relevant to the visit, authorised users can access structured records relating to areas such as:

  • Significant incidents
  • Safeguarding
  • Complaints
  • Missing from home
  • Risk
  • Children’s views
  • Activities
  • Health
  • Education
  • Care planning
  • Management actions
  • Follow-up

Show what happened next

An event record is only part of the picture.

Managers also need to understand how information was reviewed and what action followed.

  1. Event recorded
  2. Manager review
  3. Actions identified
  4. Actions assigned
  5. Follow-up completed
  6. Audit history maintained

Maintain records throughout the month

The objective is not to spend days rebuilding information immediately before an independent visit.

By maintaining organised records throughout normal operation, relevant information can be easier to retrieve and review when required.

Your responsibilities remain unchanged

YourClouds supports record keeping and access to management information.

It does not replace the independent person’s role, professional judgement, the registered provider’s responsibilities or the statutory requirements applying to Regulation 44.
