Safeguarding recording

[locoparentis]

@locoparentis - i feels a sense of sarcasm here - look all I know is what I have been told and from what I have been told it sounds like they are on the ball, and I think systems like this, in fact I don’t get why the GOV don’t have something like this instead of separt systems - it should be a multi-link with ALL authorities and vice versa especially for when it comes to looking after a pupils / welfare / mental health and all goes along with protecting that child until they are classed as an adult then its treated a bit different ( at a guess)

In regards to Sims it reads the data from SIMS - it’s a one way communication - and then it is imported into safeguard

The safeguard software also allows multiple authorities to share data already (that is alrdy implemented in the system) you give them a link and they have a 1 time access to the data they need over a secure connection of course.

 

 

you can also upload your own policies into the system so you have a central point of reference for staff so they know what safeguarding procedures are in place at your school. along with NSPPC access and other data you might want to upload

 

what else do you want to know if you want to bullet point me some questions please email me at [email protected] and send them to me i will be more than happy to send them to Steve - Director / Software designer

 

No I don't deal in sarcasm Kevin, your gushing review of a system led me to believe that what I had wasn't sufficient.

 

My questions were aimed at bottoming out your/the directors future developments?

 

As a DSL I completely agree with your sentiment of shared information, as you will see I've mentioned this further back in the thread. Your post references sharing with LEAs and Authorities, you didn't say how this was possible, nor which authorities (and still haven't), who in the NHS or Gov; pardon my persistence but if someone makes a claim on here that would make someone question my choice I would naturally investigate the detail. I understand your support of a product which you have purchased and I too as the budget holder and the person justifying my budget to governors, support my choice.

 

Your initial post described functions which have 'the green light' and I was asking you to describe what those green lights were ?

 

As it happens the functions you've described are available in the system I have, I'm also secured by the knowledge in an email update this week that Capita SIMs have just chosen my provider as a commercial partner which I have no doubt or unsubstantiated promises will lead to a greater connection between SIMs and my safeguarding system.

Totally agree Graham the GMC issue guidance on confidentiality, the disclosure is about 'saving life' or 'preventing serious injury' and in that case is disclosed to the police and not an educational establishment or any other establishment for that matter. The health services do run a system dependent on authority in which authorised persons can access but it is in no way linked to an external system and is a reporting device. The information is always one way with the police, social care and health. In other words they can report to me if they need to (domestics etc) but I have no access (or right to) the information they hold.

 

Sharing is common on my system and I can invite externals in, but as you can imagine they only tell me what they think I need to hear and probably don't tell me everything I should know!
