Monitoring pupil safeguarding is an ongoing and important priority for schools, colleges and other education settings. It’s vital that these settings have the most up-to-date, efficient and effective safeguarding software in place. Effective safeguarding software helps make the process of monitoring safeguarding concerns seamless for school staff, ensures that all concerns – no matter how small – are spotted and logged easily, and that interventions are made as early as possible to improve outcomes for children.
While there are a number of solutions out there, not all safeguarding software is the same. Here are five reasons why switching to CPOMS software solutions could improve the way safeguarding concerns are monitored and logged in your setting:
- Customisable reporting
Every education setting and school has unique needs. With CPOMS safeguarding software you can decide what categories of information you would like to monitor and tailor them to meet your school’s exact requirements. CPOMS enables you to customise reports so that they can be created easily and accurately for different stakeholders including Governers and OFSTED, for example. - Effective sharing of secure information between agencies
CPOMS Engage allows information between local authorities, social services and other agencies that are responsible for the safeguarding of children, to be shared in a secure and safe manner. The simplicity and speed at which safeguarding information can be shared with schools and local authorities securely through the system helps to ensure a timely, collaborative approach to pupil’s safety and wellbeing. With CPOMS software you don’t have to reformat files and make countless phone calls between agencies – which can be time consuming. Instead, the seamless sharing of data between agencies using CPOMS software means that more time can be spent focusing on providing pupils with the support they need. - Student transfers
In instances when children transfer to your school or move to another school, their full child protection history can be moved across automatically and easily. If the other school doesn’t have safeguarding software, you can use CPOMS to either upload everything when a child joins, or to download everything easily to pass onto the next school, avoiding the need for teachers to spend time contacting different schools to find out this information. - Controlled access to information
Using intelligent role-based access, CPOMS allows you to securely control who has access to what information and when. Access can be easily tiered to reflect the needs of your school so that only those who need to access information can do so. For example, when a member of staff reports a concern, senior leaders can share detailed information amongst themselves, secure in the knowledge that the right people have been made aware of the situation, at the right time. - Proven and trusted by thousands
Trusted by over 17,000 establishments across a wide range of settings, from nurseries and schools to diocese, sports clubs, independent schools, FE colleges, charities, international schools, local authorities, and trusts, CPOMS is the market leading software for monitoring safeguarding, wellbeing and all pastoral issues – so you know you are in good company.
