Children's Residential Care Software
Inspection-ready records. Built for children's homes that cannot afford to get it wrong.
KingCare is purpose-built around the 2026 Ofsted SCCIF framework. It generates your Annex A directly from your live records and organises every piece of evidence by inspection heading — so inspection prep stops being a two-day scramble.
Peer-reviewed
The compliance architecture behind KingCare was peer-reviewed and presented at ICSOFT 2026, the International Conference on Software Technologies, Porto.
The Stakes
The documentation gap is closing homes.
4,010 children's homes in England.
One missed Regulation 40 notification is enforcement action.
One Inadequate grade is closure risk.
These are rarely practice failures. They are documentation failures — good care that nobody can evidence when the inspector asks.
KingCare was built by someone who works frontline in children's residential care, for the managers who carry the inspection burden. Every feature came from the framework itself.
What that means for your home
For Registered Managers
Inspection prep stops being a two-day scramble. Annex A is generated, evidence is organised by heading, and gaps surface months early. You walk into inspection week already knowing what's there.
For RIs and Directors
Your oversight, evidenced. Overdue Reg 45 reviews, open incidents and evidence coverage across every home, visible without driving to each one. A single placement is six figures of commissioned care a year — the records that evidence it shouldn't live in binders.
For your staff
Recording that takes minutes and can't be submitted half-done. Manager feedback lands on the record itself, so good practice becomes visible evidence instead of a binder entry nobody reads.
SEE IT LIVE
20 minutes. No sales pitch.
Just the product.
I'll generate an Annex A from live records in front of you, walk the Inspector Dashboard, and log a real incident. You tell me if it solves your problem.

Annex A, generated
The document every inspection starts with — produced from your live records, not rebuilt from scratch.
When Ofsted calls, most homes lose days assembling Annex A by hand from binders, spreadsheets and memory. KingCare builds it from the records your team already keeps — children, placements, incidents, missing episodes, risk flags, staffing — and exports a completed Annex A as a Word document, ready to hand over.
- Pulls directly from live data. No re-typing, no version confusion.
- Covers the sections homes struggle to evidence, including risk (CSE/CCE) and organisational officers.
- Regenerate any time. Your Annex A is never stale.
Inspector Dashboard
Evidence organised by SCCIF heading. Gaps visible before the inspector finds them.
Every record in KingCare maps to the 2026 SCCIF judgement areas. The Inspector Dashboard shows, heading by heading, exactly what evidence exists and where coverage is thin — “no evidence in this area yet” is something you find out from your dashboard, not from your inspection.
- Quality of Care & Support 3 sources
- Children’s Wishes & Feelings 1 source
- Education, Health & Wellbeing No evidence
- Help, Protection & Guardianship 2 sources
- Leadership & Management 4 sources
- Descriptive counts, not verdicts: “No evidence” / “1 source” / “N sources”
- Inspector role view: give a visiting inspector read-only, pre-organised access on their own device
KingCare never scores, grades or predicts your inspection outcome. No traffic lights, no imitation judgements. Only Ofsted decides your grade. KingCare shows you facts — what evidence exists, under which heading, and how recently — so your team fixes gaps early.
The complete care record
Not a compliance bolt-on. The whole home, in one system.
Everything a single-child or complex placement generates, recorded once, evidenced everywhere it matters.
Daily logs with manager oversight
Every log is authored, timestamped and addressed to the child. Managers comment directly on the record, so supervision is visible and auditable.
Incidents
Structured logging with required fields. An incomplete incident record cannot be saved.
Missing episodes
Episode tracking including return-home interviews.
Medication
Full medication management with dose-slot administration records.
Risk flags (CSE/CCE)
Child-level risk recording that feeds Annex A automatically.
Regulation 45 quarterly reviews
Create, track and complete, with overdue visibility.
Regulation 44 visits
Independent visitor reports, logged and retrievable.
Staff supervision
Supervisee/supervisor records with sign-off.
Placement plans, achievements, complaints, health & education records
The rest of the file, structured and searchable.
For groups
Responsible individuals overseeing multiple homes get a cross-home dashboard — per-home resident counts, overdue Reg 45 reviews and open incidents at a glance.
Built for safeguarding data
Security that stands up to a DPO's questions.
This is the most sensitive category of data there is. KingCare treats it that way.
- Immutable audit trail Every create, edit and delete is logged append-only, including snapshots of deleted records. Nothing disappears quietly.
- Multi-factor authentication TOTP-based MFA with recovery codes, enforceable across your whole organisation with one setting.
- UK data residency All data stored in Microsoft Azure, UK South. Documents in private, access-controlled storage. Nothing leaves the UK.
- Tenant isolation Your home's data is isolated at the database-query level, verified by automated tests on every release.
- Records that can't be half-done Required fields are enforced; incomplete records cannot be saved.
Pricing
One price. Everything included.
£450 per home, per month
- Every feature, every role, unlimited staff accounts
- Annex A generation and Inspector Dashboard included — nothing gated

The Founding Partner Programme — five homes, then it closes. We're signing five design partners to shape KingCare through 2026. Partners get the full platform free for three months, direct access to the founder, and a real say in what gets built next. If it's working at the end of three months, you continue at £450 per home per month, locked for 24 months. If not, you walk away with your data exported and nothing owed. No card details taken.
In return we ask for real use in your home, a short feedback call each fortnight, and permission to tell your story as a case study when the programme completes.
Running a group? Per-home pricing with volume rates for multiple homes. Book a call.
On the roadmap — shaped by founding homes
- SCCIF tagging on every record type, with smart heading suggestions
- Deadline & notification engine — Reg 40/45/47 windows tracked automatically, escalating alerts before anything is missed
Presenting KingCare’s compliance architecture at ICSOFT 2026, Porto.
Built from the inside.
I'm Branson Kouaya — a children's residential care support worker and First-Class Computer Science graduate. I built KingCare because I watched good homes drown in documentation that was never designed for the framework they're inspected against. The architecture behind it was peer-reviewed and presented at ICSOFT 2026, Porto.
