    Brief

    Trafford Council is seeking qualified providers to deliver independent Regulation 44 visits and comprehensive reporting across its children's residential services. Regulation 44 visits are mandatory inspections required under the Children's Homes Regulations 2015, ensuring compliance with safeguarding standards and quality of care. The council is conducting this market engagement to inform an upcoming formal procurement process. Successful providers will be responsible for conducting regular independent visits to children's homes, speaking with children and staff, reviewing documentation, and producing detailed reports identifying areas of excellence and improvement. This is an opportunity for experienced social care inspection and quality assurance professionals to support Trafford's commitment to child safety and welfare.
