Free, practical tools designed specifically for registered managers, deputy managers and children's home owners. Built by people who understand the pressure you work under.
Each tool is built around the actual decisions and pressures that people running children's homes face every day — not generic business calculators adapted to fit.
Model the financial viability of any children's home across EBD, LD, semi-independent, solo, SEMH and SCR placements. Input your real staffing costs, fee rates per child and overheads to get an instant profitability picture.
A thorough 58-question self-assessment aligned to the Social Care Common Inspection Framework (SCCIF). Identify gaps before Ofsted does, track your readiness score and generate a prioritised action plan.
Calculate your exact Ofsted notification deadline from the date and time of any notifiable incident. Never miss a Reg 40 deadline again — with a live countdown, overdue alerts and a who-to-notify checklist.
These tools weren't designed by developers or consultants who read about children's homes. They were built by someone who works in one — and owns one.
Every field, every question, every default value reflects how children's homes actually work — not generic business tools repackaged for the sector.
Tools reference the current SCCIF framework, Regulation 44, Regulation 40 and the Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023 — kept accurate and up to date.
No sign-up. No paywall. No data harvested. These tools exist because the sector deserves good, free resources that are actually useful in practice.
Most registered managers and home owners are making complex financial and regulatory decisions with inadequate tools — or none at all. CareProTools exists to change that.
