Tools for social care
Firsthand makes software for the work in social care where somebody has to go and look, or go and check, and put their name to what they saw.
Insight, for Regulation 44 visits, is available now. Onboarding and HR checks are in development.

Insight
ActiveThe Regulation 44 workspace for independent visitors. Prepare the visit, write the report, and send it on your own authority.
Onboarding and HR checks
In developmentThe checks that come before someone starts, worked through in order, with the evidence kept and a name and a date against each one.
The name
A great deal of social care rests on exactly that. Somebody has to go into a home and speak to children where nobody else can hear. Somebody has to see the document, not be told about it, before a new person starts. We build tools for whoever does that work, so the next person starts from what is already known.
Why it is called FirsthandWhat we make
Each tool does one job, and more tools will follow.
Regulation 44
Available nowThe Regulation 44 workspace for independent visitors to children’s homes in England.
Recruitment
In developmentThe checks that come before someone starts, worked through in order, with the evidence kept and a name and a date against each one.
If you run these checks now and know where they go wrong, we would like to hear from you before it is built rather than after.
One portal
Signing in lands you in your portal, not inside a tool. Where you go from there is your choice.
Each tool is turned on only when you ask for it, and goes on the same invoice.
What you record in one tool stays in that tool. None of them reads another’s records.
Records are held in a database in London.
Contact
Twenty minutes is usually enough to see whether Insight fits the way you work, and what it would cost. For onboarding and HR checks, the conversation is where you tell us what the tool has to do.
