Minerva provides specialist consultancy and post-inspection support to children’s social care providers following Ofsted inspections. Our consultants work in partnership with organisations that have received outcomes such as Requires Improvement, Inadequate, or are subject to restrictions on practice, offering strategic and operational guidance to ensure rapid and sustainable improvement.

Our team comprises highly experienced professionals with in-depth knowledge of the regulatory frameworks governing Children’s Homes and Supported Accommodation.

We have extensive experience supporting Responsible Individuals, Registered Managers, and senior leadership teams to develop comprehensive action plans, address identified shortfalls, and implement effective quality improvement measures.

Minerva’s consultants combine detailed legislative expertise with a practical understanding of the operational challenges faced by providers. We deliver tailored advice, targeted interventions, and hands-on support to ensure services achieve full compliance with Ofsted requirements and the relevant statutory regulations.

At Minerva, we recognise that a poor inspection outcome can have significant operational and reputational implications. Our consultants provide calm, professional, and solution-focused support that enables providers to regain compliance, strengthen governance, and embed a culture of continuous improvement.
