This course explores how regulations in residential childcare and supported accommodation can be used to evidence, protect, and strengthen love-led practice, rather than restrict it. Participants will learn how the Children’s Homes Regulations (2015), Supported Accommodation Standards (2023), and the Social Care Common Inspection Framework (SCCIF) connect to relational, child-centred care. Through interactive discussion and reflection, the training highlights the difference between defensive compliance and defensible practice, empowering teams to approach inspection and oversight with confidence and authenticity.
