CHARMS™ USA

News ID: 688

We've expanded the Social Care Network Solutions family and have a new company in the USA, based in Scottsdale, AZ, which has been set up to provide our secure CHARMS™ system to child welfare agencies in the USA.
 
CHARMS™ was created in 1999 in the UK and is now used by more than 300 fostering and adoption agencies across the UK and Ireland. CHARMS™ provides a secure, case management platform for everything that a fostering and adoption agency does. Some 20,000 foster families use CHARMS™ to share information about the children they look after with their agencies and with their local authorities - the equivalent of State authorities in the US.
 
For over two decades CHARMS™ has enabled foster care communities to have information quickly and easily to local and national governmental agencies. The reporting requirements on foster care agencies in the UK and Ireland are much the same as the requirements in the USA. The CHARMS™ team are experts in helping the foster care and adoption community to keep records safe and accurate and to extract information when needed.  As we are dedicated to helping children find loving homes.
If you would like more information or to arrange a remote, informal demonstration of CHARMS™, please feel free to contact Alicia Gibson our US Coordinator on the details below:

Apr 2023 - Guide To Supported Accommodation Regulations

News ID: 687

On 23/3/2023 the Department For Education published the Guide to the Supported Accommodation Regulations including Quality Standards.
 
The Government consultation response set down the next steps as follow: "Ofsted will begin registering providers from 28 April 2023. The Regulations and guidance must be complied with for the purposes of registration and as soon as providers and managers are registered with Ofsted. If a complete application for registration with Ofsted has not been made before 28 October 2023, it will be an offence to carry on or manage a supported accommodation service on or after that date".
 
And in the recently published Guide "Regulation 24 details the records that must be kept in supported accommodation. All young people’s case records must be kept up to date and stored securely whilst they remain in the setting. Case records must be kept up-to-date and signed and dated by the author of each entry. Young people’s case records must be kept for 75 years from the date of birth of the child, or if the child dies before the age of 18, for 15 years from the date of his or her death".
 
CHARMS offers a complete, online solution for all supported accommodation and semi-independence providers to keep their records secure, as prescribed by Regulation 24. If you would like to find out more please call 0161 237 1872 or email info@socialcarenetwork.com.
