The care home management system built for Outstanding
Sentinel gives registered managers, responsible individuals, and care staff everything they need to record, evidence, and demonstrate outstanding outcomes for children — and be inspection-ready every single day.
Everything Ofsted expects. Everything your team needs.
Sentinel replaces spreadsheets, paper forms, and disconnected systems with one platform that makes compliance effortless, recording fast, and outcomes visible — for every child, every day.
One platform. Six experiences. Zero compromise.
Every user sees exactly what they need — role-based access control ensures sensitive data is protected while giving each person the tools to do their job brilliantly.
50+ modules. Every regulation covered. One platform.
Every module feeds into the others — daily records feed outcomes, incidents feed safeguarding, outcomes feed inspection evidence. Nothing exists in isolation.
When Ofsted arrives, your evidence is already assembled
Sentinel maps every piece of evidence to the SCCIF judgement domains. Inspectors can see outcomes, safeguarding depth, and leadership quality — all in real time, all from one platform.
Full inspection pack generation
SCCIF judgement areas with live scoring
Secure, time-limited, read-only access
From paper-based chaos to inspection-ready confidence
Every children's home faces the same challenges. Here's how Sentinel solves the problems that keep registered managers awake at night.
Real stories from real homes
Before Sentinel, I was staying late every Friday writing up Reg 44 reports. Now the system drafts them from live data — I just review and approve. It's given me my weekends back and the quality is actually better than what I was producing manually.
Sarah Mitchell
Registered Manager
Colmer House, Somerset
When our Ofsted inspector arrived unannounced, I pulled up the Annex A pack in about 45 seconds. She said it was the most organised evidence she'd seen in 15 years of inspecting. That moment alone justified the entire investment.
James Thornton
Responsible Individual
Bright Futures Group (3 homes), Manchester
The body map tool and safeguarding cross-referencing caught a pattern we'd completely missed across two separate incidents. It flagged a concern that led to a proper multi-agency response. I genuinely believe it helped protect a child.
Rachel Okafor
Designated Safeguarding Lead
Willowbrook Children's Home, Leeds
My care workers actually want to do their recordings now. The voice-to-text and AI prompts mean they spend 10 minutes instead of 40. The quality of what they're writing has gone up massively because the system guides them on what to include.
David Kamara
Deputy Manager
Nettleton House, Wiltshire
As an RI overseeing five homes, I used to spend two days a month just collecting data for my Reg 45 reports. Sentinel's multi-home dashboard gives me everything in real time. I can see which homes need attention before problems escalate.
Helen Cartwright
Responsible Individual
Cartwright Care Ltd (5 homes), Surrey
The child voice module changed how we work. Children can see their wishes recorded, what we did about them, and what changed. One young person told me it was the first time they felt properly listened to. That's what this job is about.
