Child-centred
Documents should help practitioners understand and support each child as an individual.
About Care Templates
Built from more than 20 years of residential childcare experience.
We understand that good paperwork should strengthen care—not pull practitioners away from it.
Our purpose
Clearer records. Stronger oversight. More time for children.
Care Templates is an independent children’s home documentation consultancy founded and led by an experienced residential childcare professional.
Our documents are created with the everyday reality of children’s homes in mind. They help teams capture the child’s voice, evidence thoughtful decision-making, track management oversight and turn learning into meaningful action.
We provide editable templates, company-personalised resources and a professional completion service for homes that need more direct support.
Practice-informed
Every framework is designed to be practical on shift and useful during management review.
Responsible
We use careful wording, secure transfer processes and clear limits on what documents alone can achieve.
An honest quality promise
Professional support without unrealistic guarantees.
Our documents are structured with the Children’s Homes Regulations, Quality Standards and sector expectations in mind. No template can guarantee an inspection outcome: quality depends on care, practice, implementation and evidence.
If a personalised or completed document contains an error or does not reflect the information agreed with us, we will correct it within the applicable revision period.
