ARE YOU READY TO OPEN A CHILDREN’S HOME OR SUPPORTED
ACCOMMODATION SERVICE?
Â
Every year, hundreds of aspiring care providers delay their launch — not because they lack passion, but because the Ofsted registration process feels complex, unclear, and high-stakes. Whether you’re planning to open a children’s home or a supported accommodation service for young people aged 16+, one mistake on your SC1 or SC2 application can mean months of delays, costly resubmissions, or outright rejection.
Â
That’s exactly why KTrio Consultancy, in partnership with Care Business School, created thismasterclass.
This is a comprehensive, expert-led programme designed to walk you through the entire Ofsted registration process for both children’s homes and supported accommodation — across five structured phases — giving you the clarity, confidence, and compliance knowledge you need to get it right first time.
WHO IS THIS MASTERCLASS FOR?
This masterclass is designed for aspiring children’s home providers, supported accommodation operators, and Registered Managers who are serious about launching a compliant, high-quality service. Whether you’re at the very beginning of your journey or you’ve already started the process and need expert guidance, this programme will give you the roadmap you need
This is for you if you are:
• An entrepreneur looking to enter the children’s residential care or supported accommodation sector
• A care professional ready to step into a Registered Manager role for a children’s home or supported accommodation service
• An existing provider expanding into children’s services or 16+ supported accommodation
for the first time
• Someone who has previously attempted Ofsted registration and needs expert support to
get it right
