Supported Accommodation Audit Tool
The Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023 introduced a new Ofsted registration and inspection framework for providers accommodating 16–18 year olds. MyCareAudit provides the audit templates you need to meet these new requirements and demonstrate compliance from your first inspection.
Our platform covers all supported accommodation quality standards, including the suitability and safety of accommodation, the effectiveness of support, leadership and management, and preparation for adulthood. Templates are designed for the unique context of semi-independent provision where young people are developing independence skills.
Whether you are a new provider preparing for your first Ofsted registration visit or an established service adapting to the new regulatory framework, MyCareAudit gives you structured tools to evidence your quality assurance.
