The flagship AI care companion for residential children’s homes.
ORB helps adults move from what happened, to what it means, to what needs recording — supporting reflection, safeguarding thinking, professional wording, manager oversight and Ofsted-ready evidence.
Built for the moment after the moment.
When the home settles, the record still needs to be safe, clear and child-centred.
From rough note to record
Help adults structure what happened, what was said, what was done and what happens next.
From scenario to safeguarding thinking
Prompt adults to consider safety, escalation, follow-up, recording and procedure.
From isolated incident to oversight
Help managers notice gaps, weak evidence, repeated themes and actions requiring follow-up.
See ORB Residential in action.
A short demonstration of how ORB can support adults to move from a rough scenario or note into clearer, safer and more child-centred recording.
A specialist workspace for residential care thinking and recording.
ORB is not just a chatbot. It is a product workspace built around the tasks adults actually carry in children’s homes.
ORB Residential gives adults a single place to ask, dictate, write, review and improve care-related records.
It is designed for moments after incidents, missing-from-home returns, difficult conversations, key-work sessions, allegations, emotional distress, physical interventions, handovers, manager reviews and Ofsted preparation.
The product helps adults slow down the thinking process: what happened, what was observed, what the child said, what adults did, what risks may be present, what needs escalating and what needs recording.
The final decision and final record always remain with the adult. ORB supports the thinking and drafting; it does not replace accountability.
Chat
Ask questions about recording, safeguarding thinking, wording, follow-up actions and oversight.
Voice
Talk naturally to ORB when an adult needs calm, immediate support or help thinking through a scenario.
Dictate
Speak rough notes after a shift, incident or reflection, then turn them into structured draft wording.
Write
Draft, improve and review records, summaries, reports, reflections and evidence in a professional tone.
What ORB helps adults do.
Each part of ORB is designed around a real job in residential care — not around generic AI prompts.
Understand the moment
Help adults organise what happened, what was said, what was observed and what immediate risks may need thinking about.
Record properly
Turn rough notes into factual, professional, child-centred wording that can be reviewed before use.
Think safely
Prompt reflection around safety, escalation, local procedure, safeguarding concerns, follow-up and information sharing.
Evidence oversight
Support managers and RIs to identify gaps, patterns, weak records, missing actions and areas needing review.
Built for real questions from real shifts.
ORB is designed for the everyday moments where adults need to think clearly, record carefully and respond safely.
“A young person has returned after missing for three days. What should I do first?”
“Turn this rough incident note into a clear professional record.”
“What needs recording after a physical intervention?”
“A young person says nobody listens. How should I respond and record it?”
“Review this missing-from-home return and tell me what might be missing.”
“Help me prepare evidence for Reg 44, Reg 45 or Ofsted.”
“What follow-up actions should I consider after this allegation?”
“Rewrite this daily log so it is factual, therapeutic and child-centred.”
The product is built around the paperwork that matters.
ORB supports the records, reflections and evidence that adults and managers already have to create.
Daily logs
Improve daily recording so it is factual, warm, professional and centred on the child’s lived experience, not just tasks completed.
Incident records
Support clear sequencing of what happened, who was involved, what adults did, what the child said, what risks were present and what follow-up is needed.
Missing-from-home returns
Prompt adults to think about immediate safety, return conversations, presentation, disclosures, exploitation indicators, notifications and follow-up actions.
Physical intervention records
Support adults to capture antecedents, de-escalation, intervention, duration, injury checks, debriefs, notifications and management oversight.
Key-work summaries
Help adults structure conversations, capture the child’s voice, identify themes and record next steps in a meaningful way.
Manager reviews
Support managers to review records for gaps, unclear wording, missing follow-up, weak evidence, patterns and oversight actions.
Reg 44 and Reg 45 evidence
Help organise evidence, identify actions, summarise themes and support clearer preparation for review, scrutiny and inspection.
Professional summaries
Turn fragmented notes into clearer summaries for supervision, handover, manager oversight, care planning and reflective practice.
From rough note to reviewed record.
ORB is designed to support the full recording journey, while keeping the adult responsible for the final record.
Capture
Type, paste, speak or dictate what happened in natural language.
Structure
ORB helps organise the sequence, child voice, adult response, risks and actions.
Improve
ORB supports clearer, more professional and more child-centred wording.
Review
The adult checks accuracy, context, tone and procedure before anything is used.

ORB is built to improve the quality of thinking, not just the writing.
The product should help adults produce records that are clearer, safer and more useful — without pretending AI has lived the moment.
Factual
ORB should help separate what was seen, heard and done from assumptions, labels or emotional language.
Child-centred
ORB should help adults record the child’s voice, presentation, needs and context, not just the behaviour.
Therapeutic
ORB should support language that is calm, respectful, trauma-aware and focused on understanding.
Safeguarding-aware
ORB should prompt adults to think about immediate safety, escalation, notifications and follow-up.
Reviewable
ORB outputs should be treated as drafts. Adults must review, correct and approve anything before it is used.
Oversight-ready
ORB should help managers see whether records evidence care, response, learning, actions and leadership.
Built for the whole home, not just one role.
ORB supports the different responsibilities across a residential children’s home.

Senior staff
Support with reviewing records, guiding staff, checking quality, identifying actions and strengthening consistency.

Responsible individuals
Support with governance, quality assurance, patterns, provider oversight and evidence of leadership.
The words written after a moment of care can matter for years.
Residential care records are not just paperwork. They are evidence, memory, accountability and sometimes part of a child’s life story.
There is a moment after an incident when the home goes quiet.
The young person is safe. The immediate situation is over. But the adult’s work has not finished.
They still need to remember what happened, choose the right words, think about safeguarding, consider what needs to happen next and write a record that may be read months or years later.
That record may be seen by a manager, a social worker, an inspector, a parent, a court, or the young person themselves. The words matter.
ORB Residential was built for that moment — powered by IndiCare Intelligence.
