Intervene early for better outcomes with the whole picture

Understanding where best to target resources is a constant challenge for children’s services teams – you need firstly to be able to identify where support is most needed, and then to be able to allocate resources in the most effective way.

Our software solutions help to protect the most vulnerable children by sharing data securely across multi-agency teams to create a single, clear view for more informed and effective service delivery.

Fluctuations in school attendance and attainment can be a key indicator of changes to a child’s situation. Our attendance software alerts teams to unauthorised absences so they can take action at the earliest opportunity, whilst our attainment tools - including our virtual schools head and SEND solutions for children in care and children with special educational needs - ensure every child’s attainment is carefully considered.

We also offer early years solutions which show which services are being accessed by disadvantaged groups and where best to target future resources. And our user-friendly case management tools provide a detailed picture of every child so you can spot negative changes easily to provide early support without having to spend time matching data from different systems.

Children’s Support Services (CSS) software: a detailed picture of every child

Our comprehensive, user-friendly case management tool provides a detailed picture of every child, from educational and pastoral needs to the services they receive, to ensure the best possible support.

 

    Mapping software enables teams to drive greater efficiency by allocating cases and workloads to geographical areas. They can drive better outcomes by measuring the performance of individual practitioners, teams and the authority against performance indicators. They can also generate reports on estimated and actual financial support offered to children and schools to inform budget planning.

    Vital data on children can be maintained and shared across services more easily by having only one record, with forms tailored to meet the needs of different service teams. Practitioners with authorised access can view a child’s contact details and other relevant information, such as attendance and the involvements of other services to target interventions more effectively.

    The adaptable case timeline tracks individual involvements, maintains an accurate account of intervention and guides practitioners through the next steps to take with each child. There’s less need for administration so they have more time to focus on the child.
