CPOMS, the trusted provider of safeguarding, wellbeing, and pastoral software used by schools worldwide, announces its strategic partnership with Lightspeed Systems, a renowned leader in purpose-built school safety and edtech management solutions. This collaboration introduces an innovative integration feature aimed at enhancing real-time student safeguarding practices in schools.
Integration to Enhance Student Safeguarding Practices in Real-Time
For the first time, schools can receive real-time notifications from Lightspeed Alert™ directly within their CPOMS StudentSafe records, providing a seamless process to synchronise data on concerning student behaviour and create a more holistic view of each pupil. This integration enables educators and safeguarding leads to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks while fostering insightful conversations grounded in a student’s comprehensive chronology.
What are Lightspeed Alerts?
The integration utilises Lightspeed Alert™, an AI platform that monitors online risks such as self-harm, violence, and explicit content, with 24/7 specialist review. Schools can now sync these insights directly into the CPOMS platform.
Value of the Integration
By combining the advanced monitoring capabilities of Lightspeed Alert with CPOMS’ robust child protection and safeguarding solution, schools can streamline operations, intervene in real-time, and maintain thorough safeguarding chronologies.
“We must be able to identify potentially concerning behaviours and low-level concerns in real-time so that we can create a comprehensive narrative of each child,” said Rick Gardner, Managing Director of CPOMS. “Our integration with Lightspeed Systems enables educators to identify and address potential issues more proactively, ensuring no student is overlooked.”
“This exciting partnership with CPOMS enhances safeguarding for schools and colleges in the UK, connecting systems and ensuring staff have the information they need to support student wellbeing,” said Colin McCabe, General Manager, International. “The real-time protection that Lightspeed Alert provides on student devices will compliment CPOMS comprehensive case management and safeguarding features, ensuring support and interventions are designed with the most holistic view possible.”
