‘At a time when our sector needs to maximise its financial position, I would encourage any care provider, no matter what size operation they have, to consider the cost benefits and commercial efficiency which the Vat Solutions ‘contract restructuring’ service has to offer.’

About VAT Solutions…

We are indirect tax specialists who have worked almost exclusively in the care sector since 2004. We have a unique combination of in-depth VAT and sector knowledge, dealing not only with HMRC on a daily basis (our technical team largely consists of ex HMRC inspectors), but also holding strong working relationships with the relevant contacts at local authorities, clinical commissioning groups and health trusts (NI) throughout the UK.

Unlike other general accountancy or tax practices, we use our very specific experience and network of contacts within the care sector on your behalf, thus ensuring that our service provides optimum benefit for your care operation. This level of sector expertise is unique to VAT Solutions. Our tailored approach and the robust systems we have in place, supported by prominent tax counsel and lawyers specialising in care sector regulation, allow us to offer an unrivalled level of service.

Dialogue is a safeguarding and training organisation

We work with children’s homes, safeguarding partnerships, schools, health authorities, charities and other organisations working with children.

We believe organisations and individuals working with children at risk are stronger together, so have created low cost membership organisations and provide training for organisations and individuals, specialist advice for children’s homes on regulation, registration and safeguarding and almost anything else to support residential children’s homes.

The Privacy Worx provides data protection consulting, Independent Data Protection Officer services and privacy risk management tools to help your organisation evidence and manage its data protection compliance obligations under the GDPR.

The Privacy Worx has a particular focus and expertise in helping Children’s Care Homes and Specialist Education Needs Providers, to navigate through the complexities of data protection regulation. We assist in the implementation of a data protection framework and provide appropriate cost-effective solutions to ensure ongoing governance is manageable and measurable.
