Step by step
How this works
1Postnatal care and Omugwo
The assessment separates clinical mother-and-baby care from broader Omugwo, night, meal and household support.
2Childcare and safeguarding
Childcare duties, specialist support, safeguarding and authorised collection arrangements are agreed in writing before support begins.
3The home assessment
An assessor reviews the person’s needs, home, routines and risks, then confirms the care plan, professionals and hours required.
4How our professionals are vetted
We check identity, qualifications, registration where required, references and competency before deployment.
