BMS Care Providers

Creating a compassionate, comfortable and stable home for children who need help is one of the greatest responsibilities an organisation can undertake. Part of that is strict compliance with all regulations, which is why leading company BMS Care Providers have been utterly delighted with the assistance they’ve received from Bison Assist.

Andrew Griffith, the company’s Ofsted-registered manager, was deeply impressed with the Bison expert who came to visit him to carry out his risk assessments.

“From the moment he arrived, he was very pleasant, introduced himself and explained from beginning to end what he was going to do,” he says.

“There wasn’t a moment wasted; he came in, made a moment or two of pleasant conversation and then got right on with the assessments without making any fuss or disruption.

I can honestly say I enjoyed having my risk assessments done – the process and the assessor were both absolutely fantastic!

BMS Care Providers  – who also provide at-home care and support for adults – are responsible for a series of children’s homes in the North of England that help children who are in need of a good, supportive place to live. Some have had troubled times in their lives or have diagnosed conditions including ADHD that mean quality care is always at a premium.

BMS work hand in hand with the authorities who seek placements for children, and the company strives constantly to make sure every young person’s individual requirements are met. Their ethos, for children and for adults, is to deliver heartfelt, person-centred, high-quality care. Naturally, running the child-focused part of the business is complex and challenging, and having regulatory compliance effortlessly and efficiently handled is a real bonus.

“All of our risk assessments were carried out in a single day, and I couldn’t believe how quickly the reports were delivered,” says Andrew. “In the past, with other companies I’ve waited one or even two months, but Bison provides our report even quicker than I’d expected.

“Would I recommend Bison? I already have, several times, and we’ll certainly be using them in future.”
