Supporting Leadership in Statutory and Out-of-Home Care Services

Foster care and crisis accommodation services operate in highly regulated, high-accountability environments where decisions often need to be made quickly and under statutory oversight. Leaders must ensure child safety, placement stability, and compliance while managing operational and funding responsibilities.

Enterprise providers are required to coordinate:

Safeguarding, critical incident reporting, and escalation in line with statutory requirements

Detailed case documentation aligned to child protection standards

Carer payments, allowances, and reimbursement processes

Regulatory, contractual, and funding compliance obligations

When these functions are managed across disconnected systems, the risk tochildren, carers, and the organisation increases. Fragmented information limitsvisibility across placements, financial obligations, and incident responses.

AvantCare brings structure, oversight, and traceability into the core ofplacement and case management operations. It enables leaders to act confidentlyin sensitive and highly regulated environments while maintaining a strong focuson the well-being of children and young people.
