Property and staffing for partners

What TIFA supplies and records
Compliant property
Landlord and Rent Smart Wales evidence; gas, EICR, EPC, fire, smoke/CO and water-safety records; furnishing, maintenance and occupancy terms.
Worker checks
Identity, right to work, enhanced DBS, references, relevant training, Social Care Wales status where required, availability and service induction.
Work records
Attendance, handovers, notes, incidents and actions are recorded in TIFA Connect or the agreed system, with an auditable timesheet and invoice trail.
Who owns what
The commissioning provider owns the service, approved plans and statutory decisions. TIFA owns safer recruitment, worker suitability and conduct, and the records we create.
On what sits behind an hourly rate, read how providers actually staff their placements. On which matters more, the property or the staff, see why staff quality matters more than property quality. On pay and retention, read why what support workers earn shows up in the placement.
The start-up plan names each owner and where records are kept. Property-only supply does not make TIFA the service provider; staff work only to an approved support plan, risk assessment and escalation route.
