Sims - Post Looked After Report (PLAC)

[KElliott]

Hi

 

We seem to have a new requirement for key staff to be aware of which students have been adopted or under guardianship orders. It's something we have always kept confidential.

 

We enter the information under Tools, Statutory Return Tools, Update Post Looked After Arrangements, so I'm not given staff permissions to that area for obvious reasons. .

 

I can't find those fields included in the reporting structure, I'm looking in particular for the fields 'Ceased to be looked after through' and 'evidence obtained'.

 

Does anyone know how to get an one demand report like this?

 

Many thanks.

I would be careful with that information, as it is highly confidential, and I seem to recall that if a child is adapted from care while at your school, they are meant to get a whole new record with new UPN etc (which you may need to speak to your LEA for advice on, as I haven't had to do that in quite a few years now)

 

As for the report, the person who runs your Census Return should be able to pull that out of the Detailed Reports for the Census

I totally agree, I normally don't let anyone near this stuff, but I've been told by management that Heads of Year need to have this information to hand. Although I can give them the census report it could be 3-4 months out of date, so it's not ideal for what they want. I didn't know about the new UPN requirement, that has not been done, so I will need to look into that, thank you!
