SA Prepare is for a supported accommodation service that is applying to register with Ofsted. It lets you put each premises in order while your application is considered, for **£29 a month** per service. It works like the [Prepare plan](https://arccare.co.uk/help/company-setup/prepare-plan) for children's homes.

## What is open

- The premises register.
- Policy templates for safeguarding, missing child, behaviour and contingency, the workforce plan and the young person's guide. Each starts a draft that you edit.
- The statement of purpose.
- Staff records and HR.
- A location assessment for each premises. It is a record kept each calendar year and due by 31 December.
- A compliance calendar for each premises, for gas, electrical and fire certificates.

## What is locked

Anything that holds records about young people is not part of SA Prepare, including young people's records, daily logs and key work. Locked items stay in the menu with a lock beside them.

## Limits

SA Prepare is billed monthly only. For the other prices, see [Pricing and what you are billed for](https://arccare.co.uk/help/supported-accommodation/pricing).
