## Overview

### Key benefits of ARC

\* Connects every record for a young person, including the full event timeline, care plans, goals, keywork, contact logs, and wishes and feelings, into one place, reducing duplication and gaps across shifts.
\* Compiles shift handover automatically from activity logged during the shift, removing the need for staff to re-type summaries at the end of a shift.
\* Keeps incidents open until formally resolved and signed off, with linked missing episodes, return home interviews, and physical intervention records, supporting complete and auditable incident management.
\* Provides a role-restricted safeguarding workspace, limiting access to sensitive information to authorised staff only.
\* Automates Regulation 40 notification tracking at incident review, with a per-recipient 24-hour overdue clock and a compiled PDF ready for Ofsted submission.
\* Tracks Regulation 44 independent visit records against monthly due dates, reducing the risk of missed statutory visits.
\* Compiles Regulation 45 quality of care reports from data already entered in the record, with manager sign-off and a full audit trail, cutting report preparation time.
\* Hosts all data in the UK on Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS with role-restricted access and an append-only audit trail on every record, supporting data security and regulatory compliance.
\* Includes AI-generated advisory drafts in all plans at no extra charge, with young person data de-identified before inference and processing audited and UK-only.
\* Offers transparent, published per-home pricing with unlimited staff accounts, no setup fee, no migration fee, and no minimum contract, with onboarding, training, and record migration included in the monthly price.
\* Supports groups of homes through combined billing at published per-home rates, suited to both independent providers and multi-home operators.

Daily journals, incident tracking, safeguarding, and Regulation 40, 44, and 45 workflows are held in one connected record per young person, covering the full timeline of events and entries alongside care plans, goals, keywork, contact logs, and wishes and feelings. Shift handover is compiled automatically from activity logged during the shift rather than re-typed at the end of it. Incidents remain open until formally resolved and signed off. Regulation 40 notifications are raised at incident review, tracked per recipient with a 24-hour overdue clock, and exported as a compiled PDF for Ofsted submission. Regulation 44 independent visit records are tracked against monthly due dates, and Regulation 45 quality of care reports are compiled from data already entered in the record, with manager sign-off and a full audit trail. All data is hosted in the UK on Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS. Role-restricted access, an append-only audit trail on every record, and a signed data processing agreement are included as standard. AI-generated advisory drafts are included in all plans at no extra charge; young person data is de-identified before inference, and processing is UK-only and audited.\n\nPricing is published per home, banded by number of registered beds (1-3, 4-6, 7+), with unlimited staff accounts at every tier. There is no setup fee, no migration fee, and no minimum contract. Onboarding, training, and record migration are included in the monthly price. Combined billing is available for groups of homes at published per-home rates, making ARC suited to both independent single-home providers and multi-home operators.","image":"https://images.g2crowd.com/display-layer-screenshots/2163564/eaf2950d42e9cc688c31d53ab45a0ec102a0b8ed0fe242514ef3e66dae0f8642.png","url":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2382706/arc-5","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2382706/arc-5#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/#organization"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"ARC","position":3,"item":"/software/2382706/arc-5","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2382706/arc-5#breadcrumblist"}]}
