FosterFlow vs
Charms Fostering
Charms (Social Work Systems) is your statutory database. FosterFlow is the voice-first front-end that makes carers love recording, feeding Charms automatically.
Eliminate double-logging between systems
FosterFlow does not replace Charms as your statutory record store. Instead, it functions as a highly compliant voice-to-text recording app for foster carers. Once logs are approved, FosterFlow securely feeds them into Charms via secure SFTP drops or API integrations.

Using Fostering Grants for Procurement
Under the latest UK government fostering funding allocations (including Mockingbird Model expansions), agencies can purchase specialised software to improve carer support and record-keeping.
Category: Setup, Infrastructure & Support Tools
FosterFlow qualifies for grant funding because it directly decreases carer administrative burden by up to 90%, improving foster carer retention and ensuring contemporaneous daily notes.
Data Protection Compliance
With the Data (Use and Access) Act (DUAA) 2026, data sharing must be strictly secure. FosterFlow's integrations drop logs into Charms via secure SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol), matching NHS-grade data protocols.
