Discover why unindexed Word files fail during LADO investigations and Ofsted Annex A inspections—and how 30-second voice logging fixes it. ## How FosterFlow Works Alongside SharePoint, OneDrive & Word Logs Typing daily logs into a running Word document on a laptop takes 15–20 minutes every evening, cannot be searched across placements, and carries zero cryptographic proof of when each paragraph was actually written. FosterFlow replaces fragmented `.docx` files with SHA-256 timestamped, voice-captured entries that still export to clean PDFs whenever your social worker needs a file. 💼 SharePoint, OneDrive & Word Logs ## Built for Ofsted NMS 26 & UK Data Protection Whether you are an individual foster carer protecting your household from LADO ambiguity or a Registered Manager eliminating multi-week logging backlogs, FosterFlow is engineered for UK regulatory scrutiny. ### Contemporaneous SHA-256 Audit Seals Every daily log, MAR entry, and Body Map is cryptographically timestamped on creation with instant LADO Safeguarding Freeze protection under Ofsted NMS Standard 22 & Standard 26. ### Zero Double-Logging Exports Export structured CSV, JSON, SFTP batches, and Court-Ready PDF chronologies compatible with SharePoint, OneDrive & Word Logs and UK Local Authority workflows. ## Frequently Asked Questions: FosterFlow vs SharePoint, OneDrive & Word Logs ### Why is a Microsoft Word document dangerous if a LADO allegation is made against me? Suppose you type a daily log on Tuesday evening in a monthly Word document, and then add Wednesday's, Thursday's, and Friday's logs to the same file. The file's metadata only shows that the document was modified on Friday. If an allegation is made on Thursday, a Word document cannot mathematically prove that Tuesday's entry wasn't altered or invented on Friday. FosterFlow cryptographically hashes and timestamps every individual daily log the moment you seal it. ### My Supervising Social Worker still asks for a monthly document by email—can I use FosterFlow? Yes! You can record your logs in 30 seconds each evening by voice in FosterFlow, and at the end of the week or month click 'Export PDF' to generate a beautifully formatted, NMS 26-compliant document to send straight to your Supervising Social Worker or upload to your agency's SharePoint folder. ### What happens if foster siblings are mentioned in the same Word document? Under UK GDPR and Ofsted NMS Standard 26, each Looked After Child must have a completely separate record so that if one child requests their file via a Subject Access Request in adulthood, third-party data about other children in the household is not unlawfully disclosed. FosterFlow enforces strict per-child separation automatically. ## Ready to Upgrade Your Fostering Records?
