Compare CHARMS vs. Childconnect

CHARMS is a secure online case management system that manages all aspects of record-keeping for foster care, adoptions, children residential, supported housing, residential family centers, foster carer recruitment hubs and other care services. SCN is a non-profit organisation and will always be privately owned. It is based on the sociocracy principles, so that all employees and customers are a part of the CHARMS Community and its growth and progress. Everyone - employees and customers, suppliers, and most importantly, CHARMS users - has a say on what CHARMS should do. We want to make sure that educators, social workers and other care providers, as well as support staff, can focus on their work knowing that CHARMS will protect their sensitive information.
