Specialist Support
Specialist support for children's homes
Some areas of opening and running a children's home need specialist advice or services. This page explains how CHH can help you find the right support.
Children's home consultant support
Free guidance, with specialist help when you need it
Use the Hub's free resources first. If you need one-to-one support, tell us about your situation and we can discuss whether a suitable consultant checked against the CHH Consultant Entry Standard is available. Our network is being built, so a match may not yet be available.
Ask about supportWhat checked, evidence reviewed and reference supported mean
Checked
CHH has reviewed the evidence the consultant provided for this claim, such as a certificate, policy document or insurance schedule.
Evidence reviewed
The consultant has supplied supporting documents and CHH has looked at them. This does not mean CHH guarantees the quality of the work.
Reference supported
A client reference provided by the consultant has been contacted and has confirmed the claim, such as the type of work delivered.
Other specialist areas
Where else specialist support may help
Beyond consultancy, some areas of opening and running a home need specialist professional advice. The list below shows the areas CHH guidance covers and where specialist input may be useful. CHH is developing a services directory for these areas, and approved listings are being added as partners join.
These specialist categories are not consultant listings. For consultant support, use the Hub's enquiry form; we will explain whether a suitable checked consultant is available.
Commercial independence. CHH does not imply that a consultant is statutorily accredited or guarantee their work. Any checks are described as they were actually completed. Agree scope and fees directly, and carry out your own due diligence.
