How the programme works
Three steps. You bring the problem in plain English — we do the rest.
Tell us your problem
Describe the operational challenge that is costing your team time — in plain English. No specification, no technical vocabulary, and no commitment required.
We design the solution
We translate your problem into a proposed system, agree a written scope with you, and sign it off together before any development begins.
We build it, you use it
We build, test and deploy the system into your organisation, then support it free for six months while your team settles in.
What we could build for you
Real operational problems we hear about from care organisations — and the kind of system the programme could put in their place.
Staff compliance & training tracking
The problem today: Certificates, supervisions and mandatory training are tracked across spreadsheets and paper files, and renewal dates get missed.
What the programme could build: A system that surfaces expiring certificates automatically, tracks completion by team, and generates audit-ready compliance reports in seconds.
Audit & inspection reporting
The problem today: Preparing for inspections or internal audits means days spent gathering evidence from filing cabinets and inboxes.
What the programme could build: A structured audit tool that captures evidence as you go and produces inspection-ready reports on demand.
Staff onboarding
The problem today: New starters work through a checklist that lives in a Word document, and steps get missed between shifts.
What the programme could build: A guided onboarding workflow that tracks each step, chases what is outstanding, and gives managers a live view of who is ready to work.
Policy & document management
The problem today: Policies are stored in folders and emailed as attachments, and staff may be working from out-of-date versions.
What the programme could build: A single document library with version control, read receipts and automatic review reminders.
Maintenance & facilities
The problem today: Maintenance issues are reported by word of mouth or WhatsApp, and small problems become expensive ones.
What the programme could build: A simple maintenance log where staff report issues, jobs are tracked to completion, and recurring faults become visible.
Management reporting
The problem today: Assembling occupancy, staffing and compliance numbers for board reports takes a manager half a day, every month.
What the programme could build: A live dashboard that turns the data you already collect into up-to-date reports without manual collation.
Your challenge might be completely different. That's exactly the point. Let's build a solution to whatever problem you're facing.
Who can apply
The programme is open to UK-registered adult and children's social care organisations of any size — from single-site providers to small groups.
Open to Residential care home, Nursing home, Domiciliary (home) care agency, Supported living, Assisted retirement living, Specialist care, Learning disability support, Other adult and children's social care.
Programme capacity is limited so every participating organisation gets proper attention.
Why we offer this programme
The Care Digital Innovation Programme is our way of giving back. Care organisations do some of the most important work in the country, often with tools that have not kept pace — spreadsheets, paper and group chats where proper systems should be. Designing and building bespoke software for organisations that could not otherwise commission it is how we help put that right.
It is also how we build our portfolio and our customer base within the care sector — and that works in participants' favour. Every programme project gets our senior people and our best work: the people who write your scope are the people who build your system and answer the phone afterwards.
You are protected at every step: the scope is written and signed before development begins, your data is handled under UK GDPR with security designed in from day one, and there is no charge and no obligation at any point before you agree to proceed.
How we handle your data
Care organisations handle sensitive personal data about vulnerable people, and we treat that with the seriousness it deserves. Systems we build follow UK GDPR by design: data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is limited to the roles that need it, and infrastructure is hosted in UK or EU regions. Before any development begins, we agree in writing exactly what data the system will hold, who can access it, and how it is protected — and we can support you through a Data Protection Impact Assessment if your own policies require one.
