YOUNG PERSONS MANAGEMENT
Take your care home to the next level using Mentor. Packed with
features, Mentor is the perfect tool to help you grow your home, staff and young people.
YOUNG PEOPLE DASHBOARD
Mentor displays the Young People in a clear and simple dashboard where you are able to complete some simple tasks such as adding quick daily logs, setting attendance and viewing any allergies.
There are also quick actions that allow you to create a new record for things such as key worker sessions or record a medication administration through the MAR sheet. Six of these quick action buttons slots can be customised to almost any form which is specific to each home.
QUALITY STANDARDS
Mentor structures the young person’s record according to the April 2015 Quality Standards. With a system that follows the regulatory framework, Ofsted can view your record-keeping with ease.
As the guidance explains, no children’s home will be able to meet all of a child’s needs on its own. Therefore it is crucial that the home works in close partnership with all those who play a role in protecting and caring for the child. Consequently, Mentor has developed sections of the software for social work, school meetings and personal contact. All other partners in the child’s life can be recorded to build up a strong picture of the quality of care.
Mentor also ensures that users have structure when recording activity within the home. From the ability for young people to sign that they authorise a bedroom search (Guide to the Children’s Homes Regulations) to recording enjoyment activities (including Photo and Video evidence) for the young person. Mentor has a section for everything to make evidencing you and your young people’s achievements easy.
INCIDENTS
Mentor has a wealth of pre set forms. The incident form allows you to record and incident and then select other significant events that also need recording within the same form by simply selecting them. Toggle on or off safeguarding, physical interventions and injuries. Complete all details in the same form, so no clicking between multiple forms. Record once but cover many areas.
ENJOYMENT & ACHIEVEMENT
Mentor allows you to document activities with your young people, including uploading Photo and Video evidence. There are separate sections for both Incentives and Pocket Money, so your home never loses track your young person’s financial incentives. The system also includes Targets, to monitor progression, allowing you to clearly evidence what work you are doing to help your young people to where they want to be. This is recorded over time with the progress represented in a chart.
HEALTH & WELLBEING
With a very comprehensive medication section, prescriptions can be recorded within Mentor. When medication is administered this can then be recorded against the young person’s record, making medication recording super easy. Customisable Interventions & appointments can be logged along with a body map to evidence any form of accidents or Injuries.

SHIFT PLAN
Organising your home is essential, so your comprehensive shift plans make the day-to day running and recording of your home easy. Each shift plan allows you to assign staff members to the shift and create a detailed outlook of the shift ahead. Tasks can be customised in settings and then assigned to staff on shift. There is a separate handover section for each young person, so that the staff have visibility on what has happened with each individual child on the previous shift.
Medication can also be checked and recorded within each shift, making compliance easy.
