This is Angela’s first visit to the home, as our regulation 44 consultant and immediately, I can see I significant improvement in the level of critique and recommendations within this report. Angela’s insight and attention to detail is going to be of significant benefit to our homes and enable us to further develop our services.

 The current independent visitor monitors the progress and well-being of the children effectively. Visits were carried out virtually but have now returned to on-site. The reports are detailed, provide challenge and drive improvement.

 Monthly visits to the home by an independent person have identified improvement areas. These have been actively addressed by the management team and, over time, there has been a clear improvement arc.

 I would like to thank our Reg 44 Visitor for the monthly input she has within the home. Her comments, guidance and feedback are proving to be very useful, helpful and resourceful.

 A strength of the home is the quality of the independent visitor s report. The pertinent issues are identified with good challenge and accountability of the manager.

 The external monitoring visits have the potential to contribute to improving practice if the managers act on the findings. The visits offer challenge and scrutiny and provide a balanced view of the home.

 It has been refreshing to have an independent person visit the home and support management. Staff on duty felt the inspection has reminded them of their job role and expectations.

 This first Regulation 44 report is a very thorough document that gives clear information about the lived experience of young people alongside our compliance with statutory duties and responsibilities.

 Having independent external supervision has helped me to focus on what I need to achieve both as a manager and with my team.

 What did you enjoy most about this session? Was interactive, thought provoking and made role feel less isolated. Came away from training with lots of reading and ideas. Time passed quickly as was all relevant and useful discussion. Trainer made group feel relaxed and able to be open and honest on areas not confident in. Thank you
