The record that
keeps itself.
Arc is care management software for UK children's residential homes. It turns the moments of a shift into one living record for every young person — every log, incident, journal and plan in the same place, in order, connected to what came before.
- Young-person-centred
- Built around CH(E)R 2015
- Secure UK hosting
Most care systems are a filing cabinet.
The record is technically complete, but it lives in pieces: incidents in one place, journals in another, plans somewhere else. When supervision, a review or an inspection asks what actually happened, the story has to be reconstructed by hand.
One connected record, built as the day happens.
Arc is built around the young person, not the paperwork. Staff log a moment in seconds and it becomes part of one living record. Nothing is entered twice.
-
Event logged
Staff log a moment in seconds, as it happens.
-
Journal built
The daily record compiles itself from those logs.
-
Handover prepared
Key information flows straight to the next shift.
-
Plans updated
Activity ties back to the young person's goals.
-
Oversight ready
Managers and inspectors see a complete picture.
Every action connects back to the young person.
Events, journals, incidents, safeguarding concerns, care plans and keywork all connect to a single live record. Anyone with permission can open a profile and see exactly what is happening, and why.
A live understanding
Managers don't cross-reference documents. Events link to goals, and the record updates as the day unfolds.
Structured by design
Plans are structured entries with defined goals. Incidents are tracked from log through to resolution.
Immediate oversight
Staff see what matters this shift. Managers and inspectors see a coherent timeline of care for each young person.
AI drafts the write-up. A person always signs it off.
Ask Arc to summarise a journal day or an incident and get an advisory draft in seconds. Identifying details are stripped before anything reaches the model, inference runs UK-only, and every call is audited.
The draft never becomes the record on its own. In a market where "AI" usually means "we sent your young people's data somewhere," that distinction is the point.

Compliance as a consequence, not a scramble.
Because the record is built as work happens, supervision, quality assurance and inspection are a view you open, not a report you rebuild.
Role-based visibility
The right people see the right information at the right time. Safeguarding and HR never appear on operational screens.
Structured safeguarding workspace
A single place for every concern, action and outcome, tracked to resolution.
Open-incident tracking
Nothing gets missed. Incidents remain open until they are formally resolved and signed off.
Regulation 44 and 45 reporting
Independent visit records and quality of care reports compiled from what is already recorded, with sign-off before issue.
