"The team provided practical, hands-on support that gave us real confidence going into our Ofsted inspection."
- Director, Supported Accommodation Provider, West MidlandsYes. The readiness call is free and there is no obligation to buy anything afterwards. If we think a mock inspection, audit or mentoring would help, we will explain why and what it involves, and the decision is yours.
You will speak with an SAPC consultant who works with supported accommodation providers on Ofsted registration, inspection readiness and post-inspection improvement, and knows the Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023 and the SCCIF.
No. We support supported accommodation providers across England, and the call takes place by phone or video, so location is not a barrier.
No preparation is required. If you have a recent inspection report, Reg 32 report or action plan to hand, it helps us focus on what matters most for your service.
We will summarise the main risks we discussed and suggest a clear next step. That might be something you can fix in-house, or a service such as a mock inspection, case file audit or registration support.
