What it covers

What CareClarity assesses when you upload your your Statement of Purpose

All 22 Schedule 1 requirements

Every required element under Schedule 1 of the Children's Homes (England) Regulations 2015 is checked individually.

Completeness check

Identifies required information that is missing from your SOP entirely — common grounds for Ofsted concern at registration.

Accuracy and currency

Flags information that appears outdated, inconsistent with current regulations, or in conflict with other parts of the SOP.

Depth and specificity

Identifies sections that are present but too vague — Ofsted expects specific, verifiable information, not generic statements.

Who uses it
