Precinct Care

Training matrix, supervision and tasks for care staff

When a course is missing, out of date or due within 30 days, Precinct Care gives that person the online course and reminds them. Nobody has to chase it.

Keeping a training matrix up to date is one of the jobs that falls to managers at night. In Precinct Care the matrix is live: it reads each person's courses, shows what is valid and what is due, and does the chasing.

Where we are: Precinct Care is in final development, shaped with registered managers, Responsible Individuals and Reg 44 independent persons. We are booking demonstrations now and taking a small number of pilot homes. The snippets on this page are from the working system, filled with made-up people and records.

What managers get

A live training matrix

Safeguarding, first aid (including paediatric), fire safety, medication, behaviour support and restraint reduction, and more, for every member of staff.

Courses set automatically

Gaps get the online course assigned 30 days before anything runs out.

Check what you learned

Short courses end with a few questions, and the training record updates when passed.

Supervision

Supervision prepared for you: a suggested agenda, open actions and late tasks, with overdue supervision flagged to the manager.

Tasks with deadlines

Give work to anyone in your homes. You check it before it's closed, and can send it back.

Repeating checks

Fire drills, water temperatures, vehicle checks and room checks come back on their own.

Training matrix in Precinct Care showing courses valid, due and missing

Training that chases itself

The matrix shows, for each person, which courses are valid, which are due within 30 days and which are missing or expired. Staff see their own training and the courses they need to do. Inspectors and Reg 44 independent persons see a staffing summary with training and DBS status.

Qualifications in Precinct Care: Level 3 and Level 5 Diplomas with progress and due dates for each member of staff

Qualifications, with the deadlines

Inspectors ask about qualifications at every inspection. Precinct Care tracks the Level 3 Diploma for Residential Childcare within two years of starting (reg 32) and the Level 5 for registered managers within three years (reg 28), and reminds the person and their manager six months before each deadline. In Wales it tracks Social Care Wales registration, and in Scotland SSSC registration.

Give someone a task in Precinct Care, with a due date and a manager check before it's closed

Supervision, prepared before you sit down

Open a staff record and choose Prepare supervision. Precinct Care looks back over the last 30 days and suggests an agenda: any restraint they were part of and how they are, late tasks, training due, how things are going with the young people they keywork, and their wellbeing and workload. Their open actions from tasks and incident follow-up are listed alongside. Add or remove anything, then start the supervision record with the agenda filled in. Both of you sign it at the end.

Tasks in Precinct Care with deadlines, checking and send back

Give work, check it, send it back

Managers give tasks to anyone in their homes with a deadline, such as updating a risk assessment after a school change. The task appears in that person's list straight away. When it is marked done, the manager checks it before it is closed, and can send it back with a note.

Late tasks show in blue, not red. Red is kept for safety alerts.
