FosterFlow Compliance Standard
Every FosterFlow record meets or exceeds the documentation standards expected by Ofsted inspectors under the SCCIF framework.
How FosterFlow Ensures Compliance
Six pillars of compliance infrastructure, each mapped to specific UK fostering regulations.
SHA-256 Tamper-Proof Records
Every daily log is cryptographically hashed the moment it's saved. The hash proves the record hasn't been altered since creation — the same standard used in legal evidence chains.
📋 Meets NMS 25 (Record Keeping) requirements for maintaining contemporaneous, unaltered records.
Immutable Frozen Vault
Once a log is frozen, it cannot be edited or deleted. If a correction is needed, a separate amendment record is created with its own hash — the original is always preserved.
📋 Aligns with Fostering Services Regulations 2011, Reg 30 — records must be kept securely and not destroyed.
LADO Defence Certificates
Download verifiable SHA-256 certificates for any log entry. These prove date, time, content hash, and authorship — admissible evidence in LADO investigations and court proceedings.
📋 Supports Children Act 1989/2004 documentation requirements for professional evidence.
Safeguarding-First Amendments
Recorded against the wrong child? FosterFlow creates a corrected duplicate on the right child's timeline without touching the original. Your SSW is automatically notified. Irreversible by design.
📋 Mirrors NHS, police, and social work amendment protocols — strike-through, never erase.
Contemporaneous Timestamps
Logs are timestamped at creation and cannot be backdated. Voice recordings include original audio with AI transcription — proving what was observed and when.
📋 Meets NMS 25.4 — records must be made at the time of the event or as soon as practicable.
NMS-Aligned Categories
Log categories map directly to National Minimum Standards: Health & Wellbeing, Education, Behaviour, Contact, Daily Routine, Safeguarding Concern, and Medical.
📋 Structured around NMS 2024 framework categories for Ofsted inspection readiness.
