SCR systems

[bfelton]

We are reviewing our SCR and I was interested to find out how other schools are recording theirs, are any schools using Inventry or SCR Tracker? I would be interested to hear which solutions are out there and how schools get on with them.

We've got Inventry but it's not our central place to store the SCR details.

 

Since SIMS can and does record the checks for us (list 99, DBS/CRB, RtW etc) that is the source for our SCR. Inventry can help by telling us about those occasionals on site the day someone wants to see the SCR.

So do you store all relevant staff in SIMS and tick the "don't include in SWC" tick box where appropriate?

[bobsmith]

Yes - except for the gardeners and other contractors that don't have direct contact with the kids - they are maintained on a seperate list where the company has produced evidence that their staff are all DBS checked. Daily supply are treated the same.

 

so if Ofsted or anyone else asks on the day, then we can pull together the agency documents with the SIMS SCR report we wrote and that's a comprehensive list. Inventry could give us the list of DBS approved staff on site (peripatetic staff, LA advisors etc) - but they would also exist in SIMS.
