Preparation with clarity

Bring Annex A preparation into the workspace, with missing inputs surfaced for review.

What's inside

The whole home.
Not just the paperwork.

A children's home is not one job. It is the day, the child, the medicine cabinet, the team, the building and the account you give of all of it. KingCare holds each of those, and keeps them connected.

The day

What happened, who was here, and what still needs doing.

  • Daily logs, with meals and a 24-hour author edit window
  • Shift handovers and acknowledgements
  • Rota, shift templates and assignment cover
  • Attendance, time entries and staffing ratios
  • Tasks, escalation and sign-off
  • Structured observations and record discussions

The child's record

One place for everything about one young person.

  • Profile, contacts, professionals and consents
  • Placement plan, goals and progress
  • Key work sessions, in the young person's own words
  • Education: PEP, EHCP, attendance, exclusions, attainment
  • Health: appointments, assessments, immunisations, allergies, body maps
  • Pocket money, savings and receipts
  • Incidents, missing episodes, restraint and complaints
  • Achievements and wellbeing

Medication

A MAR chart that behaves like a controlled record.

  • Medication records, schedules and review dates
  • Administration with witness, refusal and delay reasons
  • PRN protocols, with outcome review
  • Controlled drug counts and two-signature recording
  • Stock batches and stock movement

The workforce

Who is safe to work a shift, and the proof of it.

  • Staff profiles, DBS and right-to-work verification
  • Deployability, with the outstanding items named
  • Training matrix, refresher intervals and grace periods
  • Supervision, appraisal and objectives
  • Recruitment, references and pre-employment checks
  • Absence, qualifications and restrictions

The home itself

The building, the vehicles and the rules you run by.

  • Fire, water temperature, food hygiene and first-aid checks
  • Maintenance faults, quotes and contractor visits
  • Assets and equipment
  • Vehicles: mileage, damage and driver authorisation
  • Policies, versions and staff acknowledgement
  • Locality risk assessment and evidence

Governance and inspection

The account you give, built from the records themselves.

  • SCCIF evidence coverage, traced to source records
  • Annex A, with computed fields and outstanding inputs
  • Regulation 44 visits and Regulation 45 reviews
  • Management reports and board packs
  • Compliance timescales and their occurrences
  • Append-only audit trail
  • Subject access requests and redaction
  • Inspection mode, with time-limited inspector access

Availability depends on your subscription. KingCare reports evidence coverage — what is recorded and what is missing. It does not score your home, and it does not predict or imply an inspection judgement. That remains a matter for inspectors and for your own professional judgement.

Serious about care.
Thoughtful about software.

A home is more than its paperwork. KingCare exists to make the record easier to understand, so people can focus on the work that matters.

Before we meet

A few good questions.

Is KingCare right for a home preparing to register?

Tell us where you are in your registration journey. We will discuss the fit and available setup during the walkthrough before recommending an evaluation.

Does this replace the separate systems we use now?

For most homes, largely yes. Alongside care records, KingCare holds the rota, the training matrix and staff deployability, the MAR chart, home safety checks, maintenance, vehicles, policies and acknowledgements, and the Regulation 44 and 45 cycle. The point is not the feature count — it is that the evidence for one thing stops living in a different system from the record that created it.

Do you handle medication properly, or is it just a note field?

Properly. Medications carry dose, form, route, prescriber, review date and consent. Administration records capture the witness, and refusals and delays with their reasons rather than a blank. PRN medicines have their own protocol and an outcome review, and controlled drugs have running counts with two-signature recording.

Does KingCare guarantee an inspection outcome?

No. KingCare helps organise records and evidence. Inspection outcomes depend on your home's care, practice and the inspector's judgement.

Can we see the product before subscribing?

Yes. Start with a walkthrough. A 14-day guided evaluation is subject to approval and does not convert automatically into a paid subscription.

What are the founding home terms?

The first five approved founding homes receive a £150 monthly base price per home for 36 months. The subscription rolls monthly, with 30 days' notice, final calendar-day prorating and refunds of unused advance payment within 14 days. The signed founding agreement governs the offer.

What should we share in the enquiry?

Business contact details and your home's registration stage only. Please do not include children's information, care records or sensitive personal data.
