Who we work with

Two audiences. One compliance standard.

Whether you are commissioning a placement on behalf of a Local Authority or managing a registered children's home, the workers we supply are governed by the same workforce model — evidenced and auditable on request.

For Local Authority Commissioners

Strengthen your statutory position, don't dilute it.

Our model aligns directly with your non-delegable duty under the Children Act 1989 and your responsibilities under the Children's Homes Regulations. Built for same-day placements, emergency breakdowns, and high-risk, high-complexity scenarios.

  • Schedule 2 fitness evidence complete before any assignment
  • Controlled escalation — every decision documented
  • Supports defensible decision-making at inspection or legal challenge

For Home Providers

Bank workers that strengthen your registered provision.

CCS workers arrive with clear operational boundaries so your Registered Manager retains full authority — reducing role drift and the hidden legal and safeguarding risk that comes with it.

  • Pre-assignment compliance summary attached to every booking
  • Placement-specific briefing attestation on first shift
  • Written RM feedback after the first three assignments, then annually

Evidence assets

Three documents. One standard of evidence.

Process compliance alone does not satisfy an Ofsted inspection, safeguarding review, or LA audit. These three assets show — not assert — the compliance level our staff are operating at.

  1. 01

    Policy Pack

    The full governing framework, issued to clients.

    Our Policy Pack is available to Local Authorities and Home Providers on request. It documents every policy that governs the supply of our workers — from Schedule 2 fitness and induction through to escalation and conflict of interest.

  2. 02

    Workforce Development Plan (WDP)

    Transparent training, competency and deployment standards.

    Our client-facing WDP publishes the standard every CCS worker is trained to and deployed under — a 27-module bundle delivered across three staged gates, with RAG-enforced deployment rules. It gives commissioners and Registered Managers visibility of the compliance level each worker is operating at.

  3. 03

    Live Compliance Overview

    Per-worker compliance, accessible 24/7.

    Every agency worker has a Live Compliance Overview available 24/7 to the clients they are placed with. An automated pre-assignment compliance summary — Schedule 2 status, current gate position, and any AMBER items — is attached to every booking confirmation and retrievable within 24 hours.
