― Safeguarding

Careful by design.

Safety, safeguarding and appropriate support come before growth.

― Individual Support

Support follows
the person.

There is no universal staffing ratio. Support must follow each participant’s assessed needs.

Places should only be confirmed after assessment and agreement that OSASERE can safely meet the person’s needs.

Individual support plans and risk assessments.
Emergency plans and incident reporting.
Named Designated Safeguarding Lead and deputy.
Enhanced DBS checks where eligible, safer recruitment and references.
Appropriate safeguarding, first aid, autism/communication and de-escalation competence.
Appropriate insurance, confidentiality, complaints and records-management procedures.

― Service Boundaries

Clear scope protects everyone.

The regulatory position depends on the actual service delivered, not simply the name “SEN Centre”.

The pilot should remain clearly defined as community activity / short-break style provision unless professional advice confirms a broader scope.

OSASERE will not add personal care, treatment, supported living or full-time education simply because demand exists. Written scope advice should come first, alongside appropriate staffing, insurance, policies and pricing.
