Registering a Residential Family Centre with Ofsted Application Support

Caretips can assist you in registering a Residential Family Centre (known as a ‘Mother and Baby Unit’) with Ofsted. Before commencing this registration, you should understand and accept your legal responsibilities as outlined in law. You must possess the knowledge, skills, experience, time, and commitment required to manage this service safely and effectively. The management and staff must be fit and proper persons to hold their job roles.
Caretips will work alongside you to ensure that you establish a strong foundation for your Residential Family Centre, including governance and quality assurance systems.
A residential family centre is any place that accommodates children and their parents, assessing, monitoring, or evaluating the ability of the parents to appropriately care for and ensure the child's safety. Residential Family Centres provide advice, guidance, assistance, or counselling to parents.
