Sound familiar?

You are running a care organisation,
but you cannot see it.

Always Firefighting

You find out about incidents from phone calls, not dashboards. High-risk young people slip through because no system flags them. You are reacting to crises instead of preventing them.

No Strategic View

Which home has the highest staff turnover? Which young person is most at risk? How many overdue reviews exist across your portfolio? You should not need a spreadsheet to answer these questions.

Tasks Fall Through the Cracks

You ask a manager to follow up on something. A week later, nobody did. There is no trail, no accountability, no way to track what was delegated to whom — across any home.

What if you could see everything — and delegate anything — from one place?
The Golden Thread

Every risk linked. Every strategy tracked. Every log counted.

We guarantee the Golden Thread — from the moment a referral lands, safety is baked in. Every risk paired with a goal and strategy. Auditable proof of safe care that inspectors can follow from referral through to outcomes.

From strategic intelligence at the top to one-touch logging on the ground. Every feature maps directly to the regulations Ofsted inspects against.

Reg 25

See the health of every home — instantly

Incidents, restraints, missing episodes, complaints, staffing levels, overdue reviews — all collated into one live dashboard per home. Your monthly Reg 25 audit generates itself from data your team already entered. No more weekend spreadsheet marathons.

Includes Ofsted Readiness Score with regulation-by-regulation compliance breakdown.

Reg 40

From body map to Ofsted notification in one flow

Full incident recording with severity classification, body maps, restraint details, manager review workflow, and automated Ofsted notification triggers. Every incident is linked to the young person's risk assessment and care plan — closing the loop.

Includes restraint records, missing episodes, and serious incident escalation with Reg 40 notification templates.

Know your riskiest situations before they escalate

Hande surfaces the gaps that matter: a high-risk young person with no safety strategy, overdue risk reviews, unsigned incidents waiting for sign-off. These appear as actionable alerts on your dashboard — raise a task to the right person in one click.

Rule-based pattern matching, not AI reading files. No data leaves the UK. No child data used for training. The manager always decides what action to take.

Monthly progress reports — written for you, in seconds

Hande reads every daily log, incident, keywork session, and care plan update across the reporting period, then generates a structured progress report covering 11 sections: wellbeing, education, health, behaviour, family contact, safeguarding, and more.

Managers review, edit any section, regenerate with a click, add sign-off notes, then finalise. Print to PDF for LAC reviews, Reg 44 visits, or panel meetings. No more spending Sunday evenings writing monthly reports from memory.

Auto-generated from real recorded data — not templates. Every sentence is traceable to a specific log entry, incident, or session. The manager always has final editorial control.

Questions we hear most

Yes. All data is stored in the UK (AWS London). We use AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control with 7 permission tiers, and passwordless authentication. Records are retained for 75 years in compliance with children's home regulations. A full DPIA has been completed. Our gap detection uses rule-based pattern matching, not generative AI — no child data is used for training any model.

Same-day onboarding. We help you migrate data from your current systems, set up staff accounts with passwordless access, and configure your home's policies and shift patterns. Most providers are fully operational within a week.

Built-in guardrails teach compliance as staff work. If a daily log is missing a support goal tag, the system prompts them. One-touch logging on any device means entries take seconds, not minutes. Mobile-optimised for on-shift use.

No. It uses rule-based compliance checking — matching your data structure against regulatory requirements. For example: "This young person has a High risk in Self-Harm but no corresponding safety strategy." It checks for completeness, not content. The manager always decides what action to take. Human-in-the-loop, always.

Absolutely. Hande is optimised for tablets and phones, allowing staff to access and update records while on shift. The interface adapts seamlessly to any screen size. One-touch logging means daily entries take seconds, not minutes.
