Mobile-first children's residential care software

Bring the whole team around the child into one place.

CRIS connects your staff, the child's social worker and guardians in one secure system — multi-agency coordination that turns everyday recording into the evidence you need at inspection.

Mobile-first for every role — support staff to directors · Live on web, iOS and Android · UK-hosted.

Everyone working from the same picture.

In most homes, coordination happens in phone calls, texts and WhatsApp — outside the record, out of sight, impossible to evidence. CRIS brings the professionals around each child into one governed workflow, so nothing falls through the gap between agencies.

  • Social workers and guardians as real workflow participants — not email attachments
  • Acknowledgement tracking: see exactly who has seen what, and when
  • Secure, child-linked messaging that stays inside the record
  • A shared coordination calendar with expected acknowledgements
  • Permission-checked, child-linked access for every external professional

Walk into inspection with the evidence already there.

CRIS is built so that good recording is your inspection evidence. Every entry is timestamped, attributed and audit-logged as it happens — so when Ofsted asks who did what and when, the answer is one search away, not a weekend of paperwork.

  • Native Regulation 44 and 45 modules, kept with the live record
  • Annex A return that auto-populates from your data
  • Automatic, per-child chronologies from daily logs and events
  • Auditable medication (eMAR) records — no lost MAR charts
  • Scheduled compliance duties with overdue visibility

Built for inspection day — and every other day.

Most systems get you through the two days Ofsted is in the building. CRIS is built for the other 363 too — because when a system is easy to use, staff record more fully and on time, and better records are exactly what a strong inspection is made of. Ease and compliance aren't a trade-off; one produces the other.

Powerful doesn't have to mean complicated.

CRIS is the mobile-first software for children's residential care. This kind of software has a reputation for being clunky and hard to learn — CRIS proves it doesn't have to be: one clean app every role picks up in minutes, from a support worker on shift to a director overseeing multiple homes.
