What it covers

What CareClarity assesses when you upload your LA referrals and current behaviour support plans

Behavioural compatibility

Assesses whether the behaviours described in the referral are likely to conflict with or risk harm to your current children.

Needs compatibility

Reviews whether your home has the capacity, skills, and resource to meet the prospective child's assessed needs.

Placement stability risk

Identifies factors in the referral that create risk to placement stability — for the new child and the group.

Safeguarding risk

Assesses specific safeguarding factors in the referral against your current placement group.

Staff capacity

Considers whether the placement would create demand that exceeds your current staffing levels and competencies.

Regulatory compliance

Checks that accepting the placement would not place you in breach of your Statement of Purpose or capacity limits.
