“ It has been a pleasure to work with Lumin. We run four children’s homes and are keen to develop a care recording package that is user friendly, GDPR compliant and helps us to better map the progress of children. They have taken on board all feedback sent to them, communication is great with regular meetings and they are always keen to learn more about the sector to develop their product. They understand the need to be child and care focussed throughout the project.”
