The challenge
On average Woodcroft Primary deals with over 30 ongoing concerns, 21 pupils with a Common Assessment Framework and 10 families under Social Care or subject to a Child Protection Plan.
Staff at Woodcroft recorded safeguarding issues in a concerns book kept in the office. The book was not always easy to access when required and was not considered secure for such sensitive documents. The process of trawling through the entries to find information was time-consuming and patterns of behaviour or trends could also easily be overlooked.
The solution - Tes MyConcern
MyConcern is a simple to use, safe and secure application which enables all staff to report any safeguarding concern, safe in the knowledge that a robust record has been made and that their Safeguarding Lead has been automatically notified. It also equips them to assess and manage any action that needs to be taken.
MyConcern synchronises with the school’s MIS, making all pupil and staff information seamlessly available within the software. This makes recording a concern a quick and simple process.
