Parker TC provides specialist consultancy, training and support to residential children’s homes across Manchester and the surrounding areas. Our specialist experience includes therapeutic and trauma-informed care, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD), and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) services.
Residential care services can face periods of change, development or increased pressure. Parker TC offers children homes support that reflects the priorities and circumstances of the individual provider.
You may need help preparing for regulatory activity, reviewing an area of practice, addressing inspection findings, or developing your service. We can complete a specific piece of work or provide broader assistance through consultancy, training, audits and policy development.
Parker TC offers a range of accredited children homes training courses for residential childcare teams and organisations across the wider care sector.
Available subjects can include:
Training is designed to connect the subject with the situations staff may encounter in practice. Participants are encouraged to consider their responsibilities, the needs of the children they support and how the learning can be applied within their own service.
Our children homes consultancy services are available to Ofsted-registered homes seeking experienced and objective guidance. We work alongside providers, responsible individuals, registered managers and staff to identify strengths, understand challenges and support continued development.
Our consultancy services include:
Strong children safeguarding practice relies on more than written procedures. Staff must know how to recognise concerns, understand their individual responsibilities and take appropriate action when a child may be at risk.
Parker TC provides safeguarding consultancy and training to residential children’s homes throughout Manchester. We can review policies and working practices, consider the effectiveness of existing arrangements and help providers identify areas for development.
Our safeguarding level 3 training gives relevant staff a more detailed understanding of safeguarding children and young people.
The course covers key areas such as identifying safeguarding concerns, risk assessment, child protection legislation, effective communication and professional responsibilities. It helps participants build the knowledge and confidence needed to respond appropriately when concerns arise.
Safeguarding Level 3 training is available to residential care providers and other suitable organisations throughout Manchester.
Establishing a new children’s home requires careful planning, appropriate policies and thorough preparation for Ofsted registration.
Parker TC provides start-up consultancy to new and developing providers across Manchester. We can assist with home development, policy writing, reviewing proposed systems and preparing for registration.
Our purpose is to help providers understand what is required and develop strong foundations for the proposed service. Parker TC does not work with unregulated provisions or providers unless the support required relates to Ofsted registration.
Regulation 44 visits provide independent scrutiny of the care and safeguarding arrangements within a children’s home. Their findings can help providers understand how effectively the service is operating and highlight areas that require further attention.
Parker TC offers Regulation 44 support to children’s homes in Manchester. We can help providers review their current position, consider findings from visits and inspections, and respond to recommendations or identified improvements.
Parker TC works with children’s homes throughout Manchester and Greater Manchester, including Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Tameside, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Bolton and Wigan.
