About this event

This focused session explores the critical importance of reporting serious events in Children’s Homes and Supported Accommodation, in line with regulatory expectations. Participants will develop clarity on what constitutes a notifiable incident, how to complete accurate and timely notifications, and how to embed these processes into wider systems of accountability, safeguarding, and reflective practice. With practical tools and case-based discussions, this session supports providers to build confidence and consistency in their response to serious incidents.

Why It Matters

Notifications are a legal obligation and a core indicator of a service’s transparency, responsiveness, and safeguarding culture. This training empowers managers and providers to treat notifications as part of their broader safeguarding framework and quality assurance cycle. A robust understanding of notification duties helps ensure that serious incidents are not only reported but also used as learning opportunities to strengthen care.

  • Completing effective, timely notifications to Ofsted and other relevant agencies– Common errors and omissions, and how to avoid them
  • Embedding a notification culture that supports safeguarding, reflection, and organisational learning
