Children’s Residential Care Consultancy
Expert guidance and support for Ofsted registration, compliance, and developing therapeutic frameworks for children's homes.
Our Services
We provide comprehensive support tailored to the needs of modern childcare providers.
About Us
At Salima Care Consultancy, we offer specialist, end-to-end support to children’s home providers, from initial concept through to successful Ofsted registration and ongoing compliance. We provide one-to-one mentorship and structured, phased support, guiding providers from the earliest idea stage through development, preparation, and registration. This includes support with Statement of Purpose development, fit person interviews, Regulation 44/45 readiness, and pre-registration inspections.
We deliver practical, tailored operational resources such as fully compliant policy and procedure packs, quality assurance and auditing frameworks, and leadership tools aligned with the Children’s Homes Regulations and Quality Standards. Our focus is on strengthening governance, improving practice, and developing informed leadership capable of delivering safe, stable, and high-quality care for children.
Our Mission
To support and guide new and aspiring children’s home providers through registration and early setup with clarity and confidence, offering practical, experience-led support that reduces risk, strengthens leadership, and builds inspection-ready services.
Our Vision
To support children’s home providers to deliver safe, compliant, and sustainable services through calm, ethical, and experience-led guidance, ensuring confident leadership and better outcomes for children.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide our every action and decision.
We approach every provider, leader, and challenge with empathy and understanding. We recognise the pressures of establishing and running children’s homes and offer calm, supportive guidance that is respectful, human, and child-focused.
We operate with honesty, transparency, and strong ethical standards. Our guidance is clear, realistic, and aligned with regulatory requirements. We do not overpromise, cut corners, or compromise on what is right for children, leaders, or services.
We believe in strengthening leadership, not replacing it. Our role is to equip providers with the knowledge, confidence, and tools they need to make informed decisions, take responsibility, and lead services effectively and sustainably.
We treat all individuals with professionalism and fairness. We value accountability, collaboration, and constructive dialogue, recognising the importance of mutual respect between consultants, providers, regulators, and partners.
We strive for high standards in everything we do. Our work promotes quality, consistency, and best practice that stands up in real-world delivery and under inspection, with a focus on continuous improvement and positive outcomes for children.
We take responsibility for the quality, accuracy, and professionalism of our guidance. We encourage clear ownership, transparent decision-making, and reflective practice, supporting leaders to remain accountable to regulatory requirements, ethical standards, and, most importantly, the children their services are designed to support.
