KM Healthcare Ltd provides independent Regulation 44 monitoring and quality assurance services for children’s residential homes and secure care settings.

Regulation 44 visits are a statutory requirement under the Children’s Homes (England) Regulations 2015 and are designed to provide independent oversight of the safety, safeguarding arrangements, and quality of care provided within children’s homes.

Our Regulation 44 services are focused on:

• Independent monitoring and oversight
• Safeguarding assurance
• Child-centred practice
• Evidence-based reporting
• Regulatory compliance
• Continuous improvement

Our independent visitors undertake structured monthly visits to assess:

• Safeguarding arrangements
• Children’s welfare and lived experiences
• Staffing and leadership
•  Behaviour support approaches
•  Health and safety
•  Incident management
•  Physical interventions and restraint practices
•  Complaints and concerns
•  Compliance with Quality Standards

We recognise the importance of ensuring that children and young people feel safe, listened to, respected, and supported within residential care environments.

Our approach is trauma-informed, child-focused, and grounded in professional curiosity, independence, and constructive challenge. We place strong emphasis on the voice, wishes, and feelings of children and young people during every visit.

Our visitors produce professional evidence-based reports that identify strengths, areas for development, safeguarding concerns, and recommendations to support continuous improvement and regulatory compliance.

We also understand the additional complexities associated with Secure Children’s Homes and children with physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, sensory needs, communication difficulties, and complex health needs.

KM Healthcare Ltd is committed to promoting safe, nurturing, inclusive, and well-governed care environments that support positive outcomes for children and young people.
