Common questions.
Which band are we in?
It follows the number of beds your home is registered for, not how many are currently occupied. 1–3 beds is £149, 4–6 beds is £199 and 7+ beds is £249 per month.
We're not registered with Ofsted yet. What do we pay?
Put the home on the Prepare plan for £29 a month. You get the staff, rota, policies and compliance side of ARC while you get ready, and the records for children open when you move to your band's price. A home can stay on Prepare for up to 12 months.
Do the bands differ in features?
No. Every band runs the complete platform with unlimited staff accounts. The only difference is the price.
What happens if we register more beds?
If a home moves up a band, the new price applies straight away and we charge the difference for the rest of that month. If you register fewer beds, the lower band applies from your next invoice.
Do you charge per member of staff?
No. Staff accounts are unlimited. Whether your home has five staff or twenty-five, the price is the same.
Are there setup or migration fees?
No. Onboarding, training and help moving your existing records across are included in the monthly price.
Is there a minimum contract?
Monthly plans have no minimum term. Annual plans are charged for the full year and are not refunded if cancelled. Your first two weeks are free; after that you pay up front, monthly or annually. A monthly plan can be cancelled at any time and stops at the end of the month you have paid for. An annual plan can be cancelled too, but the full year is charged, nothing is refunded, and the service runs to the end of the year.
Can we pay annually?
Yes, and it costs less. Annual billing is ten months' money for twelve months of service: 1–3 beds is £1,490, 4–6 beds is £1,990 and 7+ beds is £2,490 a year. You choose monthly or annual when you first pay.
What if we run several homes?
Each home is banded on its own registration, so a group of small homes pays small-home prices. Get in touch and we'll set up a single account across your group with combined billing.
How is supported accommodation priced?
Supported accommodation is £25 per place per month, or £250 per place per year if you pay annually, with a minimum of 3 places. A place is capacity notified to Ofsted, whether it is occupied or empty. Every premises costs the same per place, whatever its category.
When does a supported accommodation premises start to be billed?
A premises is billed from the day its first young person moves in. Premises that are pending or closed are not billed, and until a premises has opened the service pays for the minimum of 3 places. A change in places is prorated.
We run children's homes and supported accommodation. Is it one bill?
Yes. Children's homes are priced by registered beds and supported accommodation by the place, on one invoice for the company.
