INBehind Every Foster Family, A Well-Run Team.
Workforce management for independent fostering agencies — coordinating supervising social workers, family support visits, training sessions, and out-of-hours cover.
Visits, Panels, And Out-Of-Hours, In One View
A fostering agency week is a web of commitments: supervising social worker visits, support groups, training, panel dates, and an out-of-hours rota that can never have a hole in it.
Tommy holds the web together. Set the visits and duties to cover, assign supervising social workers and support staff directly or publish open duties for qualified colleagues, and use skill requirements per duty.
Rules based duty swapping with automatic or manual approvals keeps the out-of-hours rota covered without last-minute scrambles.
Employee Scheduling
Updates That Reach A Dispersed Team
Fostering teams work from cars, kitchens, and family homes. Tommy Messaging keeps schedule changes and agency updates in one clear place — no personal numbers shared — with notifications that follow each person’s diary.

Visit Evidence Ready For Ofsted
Ofsted expects supervising visits to happen on schedule — and evidence of it. Tommy's GPS time clock with selfie verification captures each visit to a fostering household as it happens.
Clock in/out questions capture visit notes or safeguarding flags while timesheets build themselves.
Approved hours flow straight to payroll, keeping agency staffing records inspection-ready.
