Where sources of child data (eyes and ears, safeguard record keeping, proactive digital monitoring), previously remained independent of each other, technology now permits an integration of data streams to give DSLs a more holistic view of a pupil’s wellbeing. Risks from online behaviour can be seen alongside physical observations or pre-existing vulnerabilities.
This joining up of intelligence increases pupil protection by revealing previously invisible patterns of risk, by ensuring a broader, deeper perspective to ensure a faster and more targeted support intervention as well as providing a body of evidence to support parental and other third party consultation.
CPOMS, MyConcern and Smoothwall Record Manager all now integrate with Smoothwall Monitor to give a higher level of pupil protection, DSLs a single point of access and a clearer perspective on each student.
