Quality Assurance
of Supported Accommodation
Visits to Providers and Accommodation
Aidhour provides visitors (currently experienced Regulation 44 visitors and Managers with experience of 16+ Accommodation) to undertake assessments of the quality of Supported Accommodation and to help prepare for Ofsted.
We use a template covering the standards in the Department for Education's “Guide to Supported Accommodation Regulations including Quality Standards” published in March 2023.
The process includes:
-
a visit to the accommodation and provider (for providers with multiple accommodation, visits are usually on a rotational basis);
-
discussion with the provider including the Registered Person and relevant staff;
-
consultation with resident young people;
-
review of relevant documentation, including documentation relating to staff, young people and their accommodation;
-
obtaining feedback from adults involved with the young people
We produce an evidence based report within five working days.
Pricing will be determined according to the provider and accommodation type.
